My Truck

[Rod Salter]

As I lay me down to sleep whilst on holidays, I kept awondering how much rust is in the cab of the truck

I have been home 3 days today and could not stop myself from stripping it down

So late day 2 and the chassis is exposed

But before it was completely dark, I also had the motor out and the chassis up on stands

There is rust in the four corners of the cab

The bottom of the fuel tank was non existant

By morning tea today the cab is stripped and ready for sandblasting
I will preserve the firewall as is and untouched

Now if only I had spent half the time it is going to take to repair and fabricate the rusted parts to build a shed 20 years ago I would have no rust, but thats the way my life crumbles some times

This truck is complete and should be easy to restore > after I fix that cab
Oh, and I may need to pump up those tyres cheers rod

Ps. now to load up more of that ford mining equipment and get it in the line
