Re: "Dixie" 1988 Chevrolet V30 3+3 Dually

Next order of business is to clean the rails. I couldn't run new fuel line over dirty rails I guess. I am running Earl Vapor Guard EFI fuel line in case I decide to add an EFI setup.

Now comes the fun part - put the wire wheel on the 4" grinder and suit up. The truck is solid which is a positive except there was 3/4" of dirt caked on that needed to come off. Dixie hasn't had a bath in quite some time.

What I started with:


Couple hours later:


You can even see the before and after here. I am okay working with caked on mud instead of rust.


This was my 4th time sweeping the floor.


I am not the biggest fan of these dirty jobs, but I'll deal with it for now. My Bilsteins arrived today for the rear, tomorrow is going to be a "short-work-time-on-the-truck" day, so I am going to bolt those in and that will tie up the rear suspension.
