Default Sunday Funday

I got some time today to further disassemble the Pilot Model cab front. There were three floor plates to remove and none of the screws/nuts wanted to turn out. One cold chisel and a good-sized hammer convinced them to part company. I was pleasantly pleased to see that the plates and the frame that support them were in pretty good condition. Rust for sure, but nothing compared to the rear of the floor. I will get the frame sandblasted sometime in the future.

Just for fun, I pulled the Pilot Model fuel tanks out to determine their condition. As expected, the driver side fuel tank had a fairly corroded bottom end. After a quick exterior clean up (wire brush, scraper), it was time to check the interior. There was a bit of rust - see last photo.
