As I rebuild the pieces of my 1/2 ton WC bed I wanted to stip all the different layers of paint off the bed sides. I thought of sandblasting but I hate doing it and it's expensive to have done so I grabbed a paint scraper and went at it. At first it came off ok, some spots where hard. I figured there must be a better way, so I took my propane torch and heated a 1x1 foot area just enough not to burn it and make poisonous fumes, but to soften the paint up. Then to my surprise I easily scraoed all the layers of paint right off. I did the whole side in about a half an hour right down to the original olive drab paint. I was a happy camper, I didn't have to bring the parts anywhere and I didn't have to spend hardly a dime doing it, I may get this truck done afterall.
