Well i just got a Blue 76' Luv and its pretty rusty as most 30 something year old cars are. Im thinking of taking everything off and sandblasting the frame, then spraying bedliner on all of it. But i do need help with the suspension. The suspension is all rusted out and i cant seem to find replacement stuff anywhere, although im sure its out there somewhere. Id just like some help finding it though. and does anyone think it would be a good idea to sandblast the control arms, or would it be overkill??

Walnut blast all of it, primer, paint, put new bushings, ball joints, etc. Be just like new. Rust on the body can be soda blasted and then do needed repairs.
