thinking about sandblasting my cab

[ad356]

i have a curtis cab that came with my BX2350, its not in terrible shape but i really should do some work to it before it starts to rot. it would appear that the previous owner was driving the tractor on the street and getting salt on the cab. it does have a fair amount of rust. these cabs are $4,500 new so i think i would like to do something with it. im thinking sandblasting, i have a 60 gallon compressor that is at least fairly useful for sandblasting. how difficult is 1. removal of the cab. 2. removing windows, primarily the windows on the doors. the doors are slightly rotted around the gaskets, not real bad but the windows and gaskets should be removed.

thoughts and suggestions?

When I'm working on something rusty, I get the loose stuff off and spray with Ospho. I put it in a spray bottle and coat all the rust. It hardens to a surface you can paint, and seal off any further rust. https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-SKYBRY...075025&hash=item5471ce76df:g:QusAAOSwG65dEdzK

Try it on a rusty spot just to see what it does!
