This is from sitting a long time....

it has since been cleaned out and water runs freely through the drains...., and I used zip ties to hold on a piece of trimmed gutter guard underneath the cowl.

You mean like this???? (mine is glues in place with RTV)
Who knew Homey Deeeeepot sells truck stuff???

72-c20 · 06-12-2008, 11:04 AM

that's what I'll end up with eventually, but the stuff I put in was PVC/Vinyl with round holes in the plastic, and then screen covering all of it...

if it's not raining this afternoon, I'll get some updated pics with a real camera instead of my phone....

Is that a Oak growing in there? In west Texas we don't have to worry about stuff like that. We ain't got no trees.

soft maples. with the wet year we've had so far, the little helicopter seeds were everywhere!!!!

Got mine from the same place as Putter just a little finer (that sounds like song lyrics...) anywho, as soon as I finished, the first leaf showed up and you can see it in the gutter...

I pulled out a small grocery bag of leaves from mine.

Who knew our trucks made such great planters?!

72BlckButy · 06-12-2008, 02:48 PM

I've seen a truck with a tree growing between the bumper and the front of the truck, but I've never seen a truck with a tree growing through the middle of it!

Yeah right Nate....and I caught a fish tttthhhhhhiiiiissssss BIG.......

No really....would love to see a picture of that!!!!

68shortstep · 06-12-2008, 08:32 PM

Wait to see if it grows tall or if it want to "vine" a little bit. Looks just kinda like poison ivy to me.

If you already pulled it out, you'll know for sure in a day or two ...........

jkaylor68gmc · 06-12-2008, 02:59 PM

good stuff. Mine got vaccumed the day I brought it home, stuck a shop vac in it and evicted the leaves, limbs and a rat, a live rat!

GKsport67 · 06-12-2008, 08:35 PM

**mr48chev** · 06-12-2008, 08:45 PM

72-c20 · 06-12-2008, 11:42 PM
