#4 Floor removal | The restoration of Miss Drop 44's GMC CCKW

Right.... here we go again!

This one's probably going to be a bit of a photo dump as I'm writing it whilst still in recovery from Temple at War '26. The day started off well, with a visit from Mark & Mike of The Shack Rats. We decided to test the PTO/ winch now that there was no cable to get tangled around itself and just as a tester before we eventually remove it.

Only 2 issues occurred during this, at first, an assorted wire decided to wrap itself around the winch driveshaft, following this the UJ connecting the PTO to the winch driveshaft completely gave up and started wobbling violently. All in all a success.

After the fun was over and the wire was unwrapped, M&M headed off back to their yard for the day.

The next step for us was to pull the floor out. This started by pulling off the seat boxes, followed by tearing out what was left of the floor.

After this was all sorted, the next step was to continue the wiring battle, this time stripping everything that wasn't needed to start/stop the engine.

Throughout the day, as myself and Pikey had been sorting the cab, my dad had been sorting out assorted jobs around the truck, including test fitting the new bumper.

That was about it for the day! Reasonable amount done, and a fun time either way :)

Oh and we also took the steps off...
