    As many of you know, and for those that don't, a raccoon had a party in my truck after coming up through the shifter boot and not being able to get out. Well the truck is stripped and I'm beginning to apply insulation where Western Star should have in the first place! I'll post more pics as it's completed. I'll be doing this in stages with the first stage being get the sleeper live able and some flooring down. Next stage will be cabinetry and then the third will concentrate on the cab door panels and such.

    Wondering how big of a pain was it to strip out?

    Stripping out was fairly easy. I do come from a car audio background though so that may vary with your experience level. Everything was screws and Velcro, with just a couple bolts for good measure. I'm going to have to fabricate some new interior panels for the bottom half, so that will be trickier.

    Since it stripped out might as well throw a stripper pole and some strobe lights in there

    It happened at a nearby shipper, so no worries there.
