I look forward  to getting back to work on my truck. I have been preparing for a very long time. There always seem to be one more thing I need to do to get back to her. Time is not the problem, money has been tight yup. Over three years I have gathered tools gathered supplies. Little by little it’s coming together. Got the Cab and box off. The cab is almost ready for sandblasting and repair.

To get there I had to mostly empty out and paint a room. To become the blasting room. Lift the cab off. Move the frame out. Flip the cab on to the firewall.  Dragged pushed and pulled the cab into the blasting room.

Saved enough for a gas powered compressor. Saved enough for a pressure pot sandblaster, buy sand Ordered tarp zippers from Amazon. Left to do in there. Get plastic up to keep the sand and dust contained mostly to recover the sand for more runs through. Secondly to keep the sand out of the rest of the shop.

Oh and Lighting I ordered some 12v led tube lights for lighting, I am on solar. They are here but the wire is not.

I plan on concentrating on the drive train now. The frame and the donor truck are inside just in time foot of snow fell the other day.

That is after I finish the wall removals. One wall is done. The other I worked on today soon to be finished, I hope. Then I need to find places to put all the stuff I displaced from the wall removal. And then clean all the mess from the Reno. This wall was removed to let more daylight into the room where my frame is sitting. Also, more heat. I have wood stove in there. I will need it. It can get -52 here in a bad winter. Also, bad is I have not re insulated the top of the walls I just changed. And the ceiling above the frame needs doing as well Good news is I have lots of insulation from the walls leftover. Bad news its fiberglass and there is mold in some of that. I have switched over to rock wool since I built this shop. It used to be a bike shop for the Harley. Exercise room, and a woodwork shop. Now all been repurposed.

All for Lucille.

Soon I hope I can get back to her. Next after the cleanup pull the engines trannys, transfer cases out of both the donor 1990 Chevy 4×4 and the Yukon Frame. I have both vehicles sitting at 90 degree angles to each other nose to nose so the engine hoist can be used on both. Well its dark now, so I am going to spend my evening being a cowboy RD 2.
