the floor is coming apart, some places faster than others.  the good news is that the inside of the frame is in excellent shape. the bad news is that it looks like I'll be removing the steering column, pedals, and harness because the rust just keeps going up the firewall.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

I put a box underneath to catch the particulates

 

 

 

 

the rear of the cab was hiding a bunch of whole rust under the sealant.  doesn't appear to be rot though.

pickin' away at the rot.  this is definitely a young man's job.  lol.  my back is feeling this.

also got the fuse box separated and the harness pulled.  still gotta get the pedals out of there.  there's evidence that someone has been in here already (aside from the mice).  hood cable bracket screws were damaged, the cable was routed wrong, and the upper nut for the clutch master is missing.
