What happens here

The interior of the truck is examined, revealing its dirty condition upon reacquisition. The owner recounts the extensive cleaning process, including removing half an inch of dirt and rat droppings. The original dashboard and gauges are noted, along with the electrical components that needed to be replaced due to deterioration over time. The original B-post, roof, and front A-post, which were factory stampings or custom-made, are also detailed.

Goal: Assess and clean the interior of the truck while preserving original components.

Tools and materials

  • Face mask — Protecting from dust and debris
  • Safety gloves — Protecting hands during cleaning

What they say

nothing to do with that. And I think the guy drove it around a little bit. I don't really know where or what. I think it was just some shows or something. But there it sat for years and it was a mess. It was nasty. It had rat turts in the seats and just half inch of dirt on the thing. It was just about as nasty as you could imagine it could be. >> Some of these graphics are original. >> So everything but the Mopar graphics. The uh the contingencies are all original. The Mopar graphics were just put on here recently because we had taken them off a long time ago back when I sat in our showroom. But the big thing for us and for this series is they want the cars to be historically accurate for the library, right? So that's how they want it to look. This was about as close as we could get. The best way to recreate it is we bought a model off of eBay from the 2000 year and it had a decal pack in there and the decal guy actually was able to copy that and recreate the decals based off of that model. >> That's pretty cool. >> So that's how everything turned out. So, who's supposed to drive it now? What are you going to do with it? >> I guess it's going to be me. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. I I didn't really want to do that. That was not the goal. I wanted to put it together and and go on the racetrack. I was hoping Brad would drive it and uh you know, there's some extenduating circumstances with the Dodge and the Ford stuff. He just didn't want to upset the Apple Card any. So, uh I guess I win the the prize. I get to do it. So, but uh we'll see how that works. I have to I put my seat in it. So, it's a big seat in the car and I haven't been racing in quite a while. I drove dad's land speed car about 3 4 years ago, but other than that, it's been 10 years plus. So,
