Thanks for all the input. I will look in to the soda blasting. There is an outfit in Mayerthorp that does soda blasting I will have to get in touch with them when I'm ready for strip the Van body. I may even get them to blast/strip the cab.
The plan for the van body is to pick up a Chev or GM P/U trailer ( the back half of a P/U turned in to a trailer ) they are common out here and super cheap to buy I'll mount mount the Van body on that temporarily while the truck chassis and body get restored. That way the Van body can be easily moved around. I doubt it could pulled as a trailer like for fear of it flipping over but a person could move it around at least.
I Will post on the Post War Forum for futher info on the Truck.
