Hi again!

Thank you so much for the support and the comments!
Looks like Rock Auto can solve some of my problems. Hopefully they are able to ship to Sweden aswell. Will check that up. Thank you for the link!

Yepp, my plan is to fix the bench cover as soon as possible so It won't be more damaged then it already is. Will also change the floor carpet to a new one. (Looks lite Rock Auto got new ones)
Guess that it could be something around 200,000miles. The truck is made in Canada and sold new in Sweden so it got the km-gauges that has gone over a couple of times. So hard to tell whether it is 200.000km or 300.000km ( 320,000km is 200,000miles).

Other than that the nearest fix have to be new tail lights, new windshield and some rubber seals to that, besides regular service of course.

Won't have to worry about the salt since I put it in the garage for the winter. Normally they start spreading salt here in November and stop about late March/April. So it´s been sitting since November now and I will probably take it out again in a couple of weeks.
Really looking forward to start up the old 400 and put it back to work again!

 

Does Fluid Film have an odour? Could it be applied to the inside bottom of a door?

 

Slight odor not bad, kinda sweet. I wouldn't hesitate on my own truck.

 

I did the entire inside of the firewall with it. The odor goes away fairly quickly. I don't mind the odor but some people have said they don't like it. If you don't like it I recommend using a satchel of lavender. Makes for the best deodorizer I know of. Better than those pine trees in a plastic bag. The lavender lasts a long time. If it stops scenting the way you like roll it between your palms a couple of times.

 

yeah...see my other post. I use it on just about every square inch of my truck. Body, frame, suspension, axles, inside and out and any place where corrosion is a problem. Never had any biological attack, doesn't wash off with cold water nozzles at household pressure. I have pressure washers that will probably take off the paint. I don't use a pressure washer on my truck. Been using it for years on my truck, for lube on motocycle and bike chains. It's very versatile and relatively inexpensive when purchased in bulk.

 

Charcoal absorbs odors, can toss a few brickettes in an old sock under the seat. Or, coffee will mask any odor, same for it, old sock.

 

Hi again!

Long (really) time, no see.
I'm about to order a new floor carpet and need your help. Quite confused whether i got oxblood of ordinary red?
I´m looking at these ones for example. https://www.factoryinteriors.com/wn-...d-auto-105087/

Tried to see what it is, using my VIN-number, but can't really tell either way. Maybe you can?
The Vin-number is 2FTFF25Z0CCB04836

You can also see the color of the floor mat on the pictures in the first page.

Thanks in advance for the help.

The problem is that matching an interior cloth/carpet color to images on a computer monitor is risky business at best. If you were in the States I'd tell you to order samples from the supplier before ordering. Any reputable seller of interior cloth/carpet will generally ships samples to you on the house. It wouldn't hurt asking since your overseas.

If they won't ship samples you could always find a local shop willing to redo the carpet in your truck. That way you could hold the material before making a decision.
