I pulled the truck over to the outdoor work area last night and torched all the old bed mounting brackets off, grounded off the welds, removed the trailer hitch, scraped, beat, and blew alot of crud off the chassis, and got the frame cleared of all foreign objects. I also got the door panels off and removed all the goodies the critters have left in there over time. So far I have gotten a 30 gallon trash bag full of crud out of it. Did all this in the mist of rain, but gotta keep the shop clean.

The plan is to remove the gas tank tonight and finish the initial cleaning in the cab.

The entire truck is getting high pressure steam cleaned on Friday.

Pics will follow.
