Sal’s ‘95 c3500

[strikk]

Swapped out a few of the hydroboost power steering lines that were leaking and installed a new curt class v receiver. Waiting for a warmer day to freshen up the 7 pin connectors both on the hitch and inside the bed for the goose neck

Man that’s in great shape for a northeast truck. Way better than a lot of the stuff here in Michigan lol.

The miles seem low for the year too. I used the same process cleaning my carpet in my ‘98 and it worked great.

I swapped out the leaking engine oil cooler lines. That solves all of the leaks!

As for the interior I decided to pull out the carpet and then proceeded to leave it outside on saw horses for a month, rain, snow, and shine! I let more Nature do her thing and dang did she do a good job

Looked good after a quick wash tonight.

New tire time. I put 235/85/16 tires on the c3500. They fit without issue and fill out the wheel wells so much better than the stock skateboard wheel 225/75/15

Those tires look good, I like pizza cutters. Feel ya on the stinky mouse interior, due to a wiring hole in the back of my cab, the mice had made themselves REALLY comfortable. Dry heaving while cutting out the old carpet, etc. Ended up doing the same as you leaving some stuff outside to let nature handle it. Carpet wasn't going to make it though.

Busy couple of weeks replacing the driver side cab corner. Called up the local farmer to help pull the dually bed, then got started on cleaning things up. I stripped the ecoat off of the patch panel, sprayed it in epoxy primer then trimmed to fit. I welded it in as patiently as I could to avoid heat warp, little hammer+dolly, and filler. Coated it in more epoxy and will leave it as is. Rust/rot is gone and it'll pass state inspection

Finished product. I also undercoated it with fluid film while the bed was off.
