Re: 1 ton dually pics post

Digging even deeper into the frame rot.

Front left overhang with interior plywood removed.


Front right overhang with interior plywood removed. You can also see the severely damaged floor crossmember supports. 2 of them had actually split in two where they were rotted thru.


A real good look at the extent of the damage. Not much left to really support it. In these last two shots you can also see part of the supports I put under the overhead to safely support it while I worked inside.




As I disassembled this beast most of the exterior walls interior paneling laminations had separated from the moisture and it all came off in thin little splintering layers. Quite a few of the assembly screws simply spun in their holes as the threads had disintegrated into rust. Nothing that the trusty little pry bar couldn't handle though.

Sorry for the duplicate pics folks, this forum noob needs to get the hang of posting everything and getting the text between the photos.
