Well,
it has been a year since the last update on the shoptruck.
This month it was 20 years ago that I bought it and it has
always been parked outside, so every few years there are rustrepairs
that need to be done. I also managed to scrape my right rear
panel along a concrete pillar. The pillar won. So I decided
to get the rust spots and the dent fixed and repaint the whole
panel. The company logo also had to be replaced.
Next
I added some support strips to the bedframe so that the actual
supports remain evenly spaced, they tended to move around
a bit. The supports can be taken out very easily when motorcycles
need to be hauled.
I
found a set of Western Turbine wheels online, had them blasted
and powdercoated and put some new Bridgestone tires on them,
as the General Grabbers were in need of replacement anyway.
I
am very happy with how the "new" wheels look, next
on the list is fixing the A-pillars as they are starting to
rust again, replacing the windshield and then the roof and
raingutters...
