Yup cheesehead here too!!just how close are ya to washburn??Way up north here!
'Bout 4 hours south. I was up in that area this last summer. Would like to go up there again to do a little boating around the Apostle Islands. Maybe with a 'lil elbow grease (more like a whole 55 gallon drum) myself and the red GMC and my free boat will be making a trip up there this year. Probably would be a real slow ride. I am going to guess that the truck probably tops out around 50 mph. I haven't done much to it since I got it home, I think I'll tackle the bed first. It looks pretty easy to tear apart. The Cab will be a toughie. I think this will be a bit more involved than the last floor patch job I did on a Jeep Cherokee. I completely replaced the floor pan on the Jeep, but at least the upper body was good. On the GMC the rust goes a way up the door frame on the cab. Some of you may shutter at this but I think I am going to patch it with some computer case covers. I have a large pile of them laying around and the metal is power coated and galvanized. The cases are quite a bit thicker than the original floor pan. My goal is to have a dependable work truck. I'll have to take some pictures and put them up, and by the way, does anyone have some door glass they want to part with? Both door windows are smashed out.
