Re: Got Rust?
That cowl on the tub doesn't look that bad, what makes it so you have to swap out the cowl???
Sorry I'm not near your neck of the woods...I would help out

It's too bad for me that you're not closer as it appears that you have a lot of knowledge and really know what you're doing. I've been watching your build thread for quite some time...nice job. I will post pics this weekend.

VT is the one that did a cowl swap before, that amazes me. Mine was technically never in two pcs., major holes were there but it was still one shell...Good luck, I'll be watching if I can be of any assistance....J.

VT is another one on this board whom I have learned a ton from. The work he does is top notch as well. And there are many others as well with a lot of knowledge to share. That is what makes this such a great deal for $25 a year. The info on this board is worth much more than that. OK I'm done, now I need to get some work done.

Re: Got Rust?
The factory seam sorta hooks around itself.
Do the separation slowly/carefully and it'll be clear what needs to happen. First two show the truck firewall/floor Second two show the blazer tub Last pic is terrible but you can at least see the two different parts together. So hey...have fun with it.

Re: Got Rust?
Well here is what I found when I pulled the rear panels off. The mice seamed to love it over the years, boy did it stink.
What do you guys think...should I replace the mounts? Things went pretty well today. I should have the tub off tomorrow and start on the frame.

Re: Got Rust?
Why in the world would you stuff insulation in there? Amazing, perfect mouse house
Good work, looks like fun... if'n you have an extra set of 'B' posts give me a shout I doubt it but is that w/s frame in good shape, maybe use it on the other tub Really like the wheels and tires, little early but is that what you're running?
