Termites!

A day that makes a Father proud... My 9 year old son got under the truck with me, his first time on a creeper under a vehicle. I let him spin the rachet to remove the nuts from exhaust U-bolts (making room for headers and new exhaust). So he looking around and starts looking hard at the rust holes in the floor and cross support at the front of the bed (6ft styleside) and says "Dad, does your truck have termites?" I nearly rolled off the creeper. Even my Dad standing by the side of the truck got a chuckle.

Off to call terminex to see if they can fix my metal bed floor...

I explained rust to him, then he got it. All he wants to know is when will the truck be on the road so I can take him to school and show off in front of his friends. His school is in an area where the cars in the driveways are german made, so a lowered rat rod rumbling FE 352 should turns some heads.
