Pessimist Prime? A cabover crawler hauler

[ChestonScout]

I guess he is done working on it, but not done playing with it. 🤣

Decided to load his rig up for a test

UPDATE!

Ha. Psyche. It’s still sitting in North Dakota waiting for me.

Life has been nuts the last 2 months. Culminating in the passing of my Grammie. Funeral was today.

The plan was to go get it this week. Wednesday is mine and chars 20th anniversary. Apparently she didn’t think a road trip for a stinky old truck was romantic enough so she booked us a Hawaii trip. Shucks huh?

May is another month

Sorry for the loss of your Grandma. That is always tough.

Hawaii sounds fun though!

Time for a roadtrip!

 

[ChestonScout]

13 hours on the road today. Grand Forks MN to Bozeman MT.

I’m tired.

M11 Cummins is a turd but it does run.
Drives straight
AC does not work
Interior is friggin disgusting

What the hell am I doing with my life ?

 

[Jesser04]

Green whore lights for the win!

I definitely woulda spent the day cleaning that interior before driving that truck. Did you sleep in it?

NO!

No mattress in it thank goodness. I did wipe down things a bit. The carpet is beyond cleaning. Seat needs replaced.

Mucho buyers remorse.

 

[ChestonScout]

Had to get things parked so




Couple of BIG IH.

Surprisingly enough…..she is more enthusiastic about the project than I am

An actual pressure washer on the inside? Jeez there must be some human slime in there. I'm convinced auto seats are just teabags that work in reverse for 30 yrs.

That is winning at marriage in one picture!

 

[UNSTUCK]

I’m afraid of what she is going to charge you.

Where’s the cabover?

 

[ChestonScout]

Nothing too outstanding. We tore the house carpet headliner down. Then I decided I need to see what was up with the leaky oil pan.

Thinking they must have took the truck on Hellderado??


I tried banging out the dents and then welded up the crack. I filled the pan with water and it held for several hours

But I couldnt bring myself to bolting this trashed thing back up. New pan will be here Thursday
