I have the boom support poles you need, both the short ones and the long ones. The only bad thing about the long ones is that they are rusted together, but maybe a good soaking with oil and some beating and they will come apart. The short ones are o.k. I'll let them go for their scrap value.
I had Gulfway for my M123. If I remember right, they insure for hobby use only. The part time work is probably a no-go with them. On the upside with Gulfway, you can pull a trailer, but again for hobby use only.
Here's the specs on black beauty. Black Beauty® Abrasive (Boiler slag, Coal slag) from READE Black beauty has very low dust, but I used sand because it was 40.00/ton in 50 lb bags direct from the quarry.
I used that size compressor with a 300lb sand pot and blaster with a 3/8" nozzle. Took most of the day and about a ton of sand. Multiple layers of CARC are tough.

I used to have a Jayco 12' pop-up camper and pulled it with a Dodge 1500 with a 318, and never had any problems. Can't recall the exact gross, but it was in the 2500-2600 range. There should be a data plate on the camper with all the weights on it. If not, the manufacturer can provide that...
The gasser in the third video was mine. I sold it to Dirt71 and bought a M816. The M123 I sold him was made in June 1956 according to the Mack factory.
