Yet another new guy...

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd get my feet wet. I have a 69 custom 10, 307, with 3OTT. I got it about a year ago, the only work I've done is put a nice set of white walls on and have been driving the heck out of it when ever the weather was nice. I guess the question that comes to mind for now is what do you do to keep mice, and chipmonks out of the engine bay and out of the cab? I use moth balls in my tool boxes but I don't want the smell in my truck. Do dryer sheets work? Its stored in my tractor shed.

Re: Yet another new guy...



I have had good luck with the dryer sheets but I only use the Bounce "Original scent", nothing else. None of the cheap store brands...

Re: Yet another new guy...

Welcome to the site... Nice truck.

Throw a snake or a cat in there.. that will keep them little critters away...lol Sorry.. not very helpful I know.
That is an interesting question though... I wouldnt think dryer sheets would work, but Ive never tried it either.
