Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives What Did You Do to Your Hunting Truck/4X4 Today?

Of course I had to un-mouse that heater box and related ducts with good ole soap and water.

Next it was power steering, then rip the dash apart and fix the wiring, eventually paint the bare metal floor with epoxy primer. Then remove seat, disassemble, weld broken springs, recover seat with new vinyl upholstery.



Rebuild carburetor, replace broken plug wire, install new turn signal sockets, replace fuel filter, top off all fluids, bleed brakes, replace torn shifter boot where mice were getting in.

Done, she runs smooth and strong, all lights functional, brakes are great, heater is fantastic, doesn't stink, looks like hell but functionally fantastic.

I let her slide a little too far from drivable so it took a little extra effort to bring her around. But it's good to have the old junker back on the trails.
