Well I ordered the sandblaster attachment and bought a 3100 psi and 2.5GPM pressure washer at home depot. The attachment should be here tomorrow and I'm going to do a test run when I get home from work. Stand by for pics.
EDIT: Looks like i'm going to have to reschedule the pics for tomorrow...
I had no idea this existed! Learn something new every day. The reviews are positive too. I might just skip the compressor rental and buy a pressure washer instead.
Here's a thread talking about it

Well my rough outline is to remove the bed and all the panels except for the cab itself. Blast everything and paint the frame/axles with por-15. Then do rust repair on the panels and por-15 those when done. I figure a little surface rust won't hurt too much since por-15 requires treating...
Is that just for the frame or the body panels/bed too? Did you reuse the sand?
The combo you used would cost me $130ish per day + media. Might be worth it if I don't have to touch paint stripper again.
There is a place around here that can rent me a 180CFM diesel air compressor for $60/day. I'm thinking about renting it for a weekend, hooking it up to a HF 110lb sandblaster, and stripping down my truck. I'd use Black Diamond media from TSC.
My question is will something with that much juice...
