When I first came across this video I thought that it was an older one where you got the truck you discussed taking on the route 66 birthday cruise on the podcast
This is a nice project. I wish it was in my driveway. The RA11 axle has the Powr-Lok differential. Very cool. That differential is unobtainium nowadays. If that engine is original, it is an SD240, not a BD240. I suppose there is a reason for rodents to exist, but I greatly dislike what they do to vehicles.
As someone who has cleaned out his fair share of rodent infested trucks I have to say it's way more fun watching someone else doing it. How bad was the smell?
