ArdWrknTrk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hard to see in that picture, but I had a fan blowing through the cab for days while sprayed it with bleach and anything else that I thought might help. Gagged just now thinking about it. You needed to get an ozone machine and close the doors on the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I read recently about a "lady" that was in a divorce and lost the house. So as her last act she stuffed shrimp in the curtain rods. No one could figure out where the smell was and she bought the house back for a song. So yes, stuffing things like that in remote places, like a headliner or seat causes all sorts of problems. Back in the day, if the contractor didn't get paid, we would go to the store and get the biggest steak we could find and nail it to a stud before the Sheetrock. It would take a week or more, and by that time the walls were painted and everything. Sometimes it would take them weeks, If it was summer they could find it pretty fast because the flies would swarm on the wall. 🤮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essmaker Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 What are your plans for the truck? Just something to drive when there isn't snow (or rather, salt) on the roads. I wanted a truck that I can work on myself. No dang computers. I own 4 Fords....this one I wanted to just be something I can do anything needed. Not to mention fine memories of the wife sliding across a bench seat next to me for a ride. Ah....the days before center consoles in everything. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your goals for the truck? (Ok, NVM...) Headers that fit inside the frame rails, and clear 4x4 are rare and expensive in my experience.
