There is a section in Tom Brownells book "How top Restore Your Chevrolet
Pickup" on this procedure. It is written by Ric Hall. The article is on
page 127. There are pictures. It sure seems like a lot of work. I got my
copy from Motorbooks International. You can order from your friendly
bookseller. The ISBN on mine is 0-87938-500-6
Good luck
