Corrosion Central!

This is the cab showing the section of rotten floor removed. The lower bodyside had to be treated also, as has the lower front.

Yours truly gettign some therapy cutting into the cab floor.

Another view showing the extensive corrosion on the cab floor.

Again, the bodyside in this view has now also seen a great deal of work to cut-out and replace steelwork.

View of the cab floor from the inside of the removed cab. On the far side the floor has rotted to nothing (eventually making the driver's seat unsafe).

A view of the rotten cab floor (secondman side), showing the extensive corrosion damage. The first section has been cut out.
