less mosquitoes, more rain
Last night, after the rain let off, I scrubbed clean the only part of the cab floor not yet covered by sound insulation (because it had previously been unreachable and underneath the driver's seat), using wire brushes and Marine Clean. My girlfriend helped out by taking the paint off of the bottom of the seat tray that I'd started the night before, then I sprayed it with Metal Prep. I'll POR-15 it on Sunday, after I return from a rafting trip.

The fuel lines just arrived today. I took a quick look at them and noted that the main fuel line is bent in two places to fit in the box, so I'll have to un-bend it. I also tried to figure out exactly where the 2nd line in the box goes -- I think it's from the fuel pump to the carburetor, but I'm not entirely sure. If it is, I'll have to cut it in the middle and install a fuel filter in-line. One thing not included in the box was the line that goes from the fuel gauge sender to the flexible line that passes through the cab floor. This requires further investigation...

Also, Dave from the oletrucks list is sending me a window regulator -- hopefully it's for the driver's side, since I still need to replace mine as the splines are worn off.
