must have been a real nice guy...

So we cleaned the cab a bit and had a closer look at the fire damage, as far as structural only the roof is a bit warped, but that doesn't concern us.

what suprises me, is how rot free is the truck. driving in the Netherlands for 59 years and it looks like it has been standing inside most of the time


we managed to open the hydrolic tailgate and took it of...this already saves 300 pounds


then we cleaned the inside of all the debris. the blask on the sides is a kind of kit where the insolation was up against. the aluminum back close to the cab was all melted because of the fire.


here's a pick of the hydrolic cilinder underneath the truck. removing that will again save a lot of weight


and check out that rear end!!



the project almost went down the toilet, because I was a bit optimistic in regards to our timeline dismanteling the build-up. So I called the landlord and asked if he wouldn't mind it standing outside for another 2 months.

luckily he gave the green light!
project is a go!
