EWWWWWWWWWW

"EWWWWWWWWWW" Is right! Rat crap is my new enemy. I couldn't believe that the fender wells were completely full of doodo. A rat couldn't have craped in there if he wanted to!
I hope when I'm done it will no longer smell like R. Kelly just had a party in my truck. "Drip, drip, drip. Gonna pee on you." I'll try to get some pics today.

There was still some smell left after spraying the oven cleaner so I put some bleach in a spray bottle and hosed the cab down. After like three hours I came back and pressure washed it. I'd say the smell is 90% gone!! Gonna use straight bleach tomorrow, then pressure wash then straight vinegar. I'm going to hose and scrub the dash and what not with a bleach & water mix, just to see if it's salvageable. I'd really love to keep it, if I can get the stank out.

It's a lot like cat pee.  You won't. The stuff literally will eat into metal as well if left alone long enough - creating its own special surface rust(it's acidic like bird droppings).

Assume that everything that's not made of metal in the cab is destroyed/not salvageable.  Anything that's painted probably needs to be sanded to bare metal and shot with a layer of Rustoleum primer or similar.

I Know, I know, everything has to go. What I really need to know is how to get that dang rubber crap off the floor! I'm going to try a torch and paint scraper. Heat it up then scrape it off. Anyone done it, or have better ideas? I want to do the cab cheap or I'd just take it to my local sand blasting shop and WHAMMY!

I used a shark chisel and hammer...if its colder it will come off in chunks...then i use a flapper disc and/or wire wheel to get the rest off. good luck!

Beware of Hanna Virus!!OOOOOOOOOOOOO

[darth_yota]

hantavirus.. naaahh. steam cleaning the rat feces out of the cab breathing the steam.
No chance of catching it. OOPS! Give me a few weeks we'll see if I feel any symptoms. Good thing I just got that half million dollar life insurance policy!

Air born stuff like that gives me the creeps!  Make sure you wear a mask dude....and use the torch.
