    WELCOME to our forum!!!

    It seems as though you know your way around a welder too~ What awesome work! So many here want to turn these old rigs into a mover and shaker. You already figured out pictures are key, so I can't wait to see how your build turns out, and what ideas I will get from it~ (Minus the welding parts, of course...)

    Wow that cab looks nice ! .

    FWIW , I have some mice & squirrels (small poop) and maybe an Opossum (large poop) living underneath my house that need a new home.... want 'em ? .

    Thy flat refuse to eat any sort of poison , go near traps , my Dogs can't catch 'em and they're driving me nuts .

    Try shrimp laced with as much valium as you can get. My brother did that for a family of skunks, and it made them laid back enough to hand carry to the cage and transport to the country.

    That actually sounds pretty good but then they'll prolly just climb up into the walls and sleep it off .

    I was down in my tiny cellar hole Saturday with the big shop vac , cleaning up old acorns and massive amounts of poop ~ I hope I don't catch hanta v*rus .

    He spent a lot of money for the shrimp, and 'borrowed' the valium. I think there was a have-a-heart trap in there somewhere, knowing my brother...
