Other than some previous general cleaning, this was my first time rolling up my sleeves on my blue 1987 regular cab dually (R3500/C30).
This weekend I; 1) wrapped the door strikes with electrical tape (until I score some blue PEX), 2) cleaned out an old rodent nest that was buried behind the speaker enclosure by the driver’s side cab corner, 3) removed all the bed bolts so I can take the bed off, hopefully next weekend.
Since I have to replace both gas tanks/senders/etc., and give the brakes/fluids/lines all a good “once-over”, it seemed like I might as well yank the bed for now, to make those projects a little easier. I’m looking forward to spending very little time on a creeper, good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise!
