I've also heard that moth balls will keep them out, but I have no idea if it actually works.Regarding rodents:
as silly as it sounds. Peppermint oil on cotton swaps keeps them away.. (some say Bounce dryer sheets)
AND..
break up bubble gum into small pieces.. (Freeze some sticks and they break easy) Rodents will eat it, but they can't digest it. . Blocks their digestive system.. and sends them to the big cheese wheel in the sky.
(works on moles in the yard too.. drop it into the entrance of the holes)
Thanks. That's good to know. I'll make sure to not try the moth ball method.@IDIBRONCO I stored an old GTO in a barn years ago.. with LOTS of moth balls in the interior, on the intake manifold, everywhere, because I heard the same thing, and because I LOOOVED that car.
I ended up with mouse poo everywhere, bad wiring, and a car that smelled like grandma's sweater.
Do not recommend.. unless the smell of naphthalene is your thing.
One suggestion here. Since you're keeping this out at a farm, you may want to do some rodent prevention. Especially seeing all of those wires. If you're out there working on it a lot, you may not have any issues, but if you have to leave it alone for a few weeks for some reason, they could move in pretty quickly.

The fact that the whole engine bank basically had no compression it would seem to be in the valves. Did happen to pull the valve cover and look?
Not to mention that they match the aluminum diamond plate along the bottom of the ambulance body. I think it looks better with them on as well.I vote for keeping the running boards. There is just something about the full length running boards,

Funny thing about aluminum is that it will usually lose an argument with steel when it comes to corrosion. Normally it acts like a zinc anode. What did the spots immediately around the mounts look like?
From what I can tell, the rust you end up seeing is usually the result of drainage problems where junk gets caught between parts.
Nice job on the floor patch. Don't forget to do the flashlight/pinhole inspection before finalizing it.
