I hope you don't live in CA and have to smog it. It's a nightmare finding working old smog components.

I got a 71 that I'm restoring
What are your plans

Are you wire wheeling that whole thing?
>>17411992
Mostly using the surface conditioning disc things, wire wheel for tight spots though.

Why wouldn't you apply a primer after exposing bare metal?
>>17412001
Takes a lot of patience to go that route. I pretty much did my entire last resto similarly and have vowed to just have the next one blasted.

Because I want to do the whole truck at once not just tiny spots here and there.
It's not gonna rust any worse just sitting in my garage.
Also, I've yet to apply the phosphoric acid etch so any minuscule rust particles that may form between now and when I etch it will be removed by the acid before painting.

It was already dustless blasted by the previous owner, then they left it outside in the rain for a few months and it went to complete hell.

That is a cool patina just clear over it.
