It's been a busy weekend. Friday, went to the Colorado DMV and had the right paperwork. The lady who assisted us has an uncle fixing her Dad's 68 Firebird for her - old cars and trucks, makes things so smooth. Saturday we went up to pick it up two come-alongs to get it on the trailer - exercise. The plates on it expired in 2001 so its been sitting awhile. There are mice droppings so pulled the seat before we left the country and two small field mice left their safe home. Today I took the seats out of the cab and vacuumed up mice droppings and scrubbed with ammonia and dawn mixture - smells much better but until I get the seat torn down and reupholstered it'll still have a smell. The bed was a piece of old rotted plywood so that's out as well. Put some Marvel Mystery oil in each cylinder. Couldn't get to the crank to spin it but turning the fan and holding the belt got the crank to move. Finding things as I go along - the cab corners do have rust. At one time the roof was dented in back by a load I guess. someone used a slide hammer and bondo - now there are slide hammer holes I'll need to braze or weld. The key didn't come with it so I'll need to order one - probably just wire a toggle switch around it until I get one. It came with 4 - 8lug 16.5 wheels in the bed. It has the 15 inch solid "spit ring" rims on it now. Break peddle goes to the floor - look into that soon. Now to rest for a week at the office so I can get to it again next weekend.
