That is the only bad thing I have noticed about Seabee trucks - lots of saltwater issues. Still, this one is not near as bad as that Dare County Sheriff's Office or the USN Beachmaster truck cabs are.....

LOL, I love the irony of that sticker.

The good news is that the floor is mostly flat steel sheeting with very few bends or cuts. The cab superstructure is still solid so it should be fairly easy (with lots of Kroil) to pull the seats, battery box, shifter, brake lever, etc.... and then plasma cut out the bad metal and weld in some new. Probably 12-14 gauge mild steel?

That DCSO truck is like swiss cheese, but I think the battery box is actually pretty solid. I'll check it out Wednesday.
