Plans for summer laid: truck work.
I have a lot to do this summer (for me, spring, summer, and fall count as "summer").
I plan to get my fuel system reinstalled and fuel lines made, rear parking brakes freed, new radiator in, weatherstripping done, and truck running. I will have to put the new radiator core support in later. This way I can move the truck outside and renovate my garage! I plan to rip down the old sheetrock ceiling, rewire the entire place, put insulation up there, and floor the attic. I also plan to build a large set of shelves to hold all my spare wood, parts, and other items. Space is at a premium in there so I have to be innovative. I'll keep you guys posted. I plan to start tomorrow, sealing off where those birds got into the attic last summer and next week, get back onto the truck. I am excited! Once the truck is mobile and licensed, it can begin to help by hauling off the old ceiling and hauling in the insulation and flooring. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Plans for summer laid: truck work.
Well, step 1 is down! Last week I caught a break and got the opening where the birds came in patched. I had to recut the board a couple of times since I changed my patch idea but I think I came up with a good fix. The opening was on 3 sides of an old chimney so I matched up two of the boards with the pitch of the roof and fit those together. It's in with screws since I plan to take it down and paint it the next warm day we have.
Man oh man, those birds left me a MESS up there! I have since decided to tear the whole ceiling out once the truck is mobile. I may rent a mobile storage container to store all my junk in while the ceiling tear down and rewiring is taking place. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
