It's amazing how well mouse poop works as a bolt lubricant. I got the seat out easily with no broken bolts.
The hardest bolt was the one holding the storage shelf behind the seat down. I got it out, removed the seat belts, and rolled the carpet right into the trash. I found about a dollar in change, but there's no way I'm risking getting a new strain of the hanta virus named after me, so I vacuumed it up with the mouse poo.
The floor pan doesn't look too bad. All you northerners can cry now. This is AFTER being open to the elements for ten years with a foot of mouse excrement piled on top.
My next goal is to get the Caddy frame out of the shop and roll the truck in. Then I can start working on tearing the dash down, de-nesting it and putting a good harness in it.
I finally got the hood open and discovered I towed it home with no hood hinges. The only thing keeping the hood on was the latch, which we'd tried to open. Once again I attribute my luck to clean living. By all rights that hood should be somewhere on the side of SH177. The master cylinder fittings are unplugged and open to the elements, so I'll be looking for a hydroboost setup. There is no wiring ahead of the firewall, so it looks like a trip to Pull-A-Part is in order, but not until I get the truck in the shop, the dash cleaned, and the title signed.
