Bill:
I think that your "cure" would be worse than the "disease".
Alas, the moth ball smell remains, but it is slowly diminishing. I have:
1. Removed the seat, and shot repeatedly with Febreez.
2. Cleaned the carpet with a rug shampoo machine.
3. Installed open boxes [2] of Arm and Hammer baking soda.
4. Filled a large box with charcoal briquettes, and installed on the
passenger side floor.
5. I go out every night, and give the cab a good spray of Ozium.
Walt W. suggested a 100 mph "air out". "Freddie the Wonder Truck" (FWT)
has 460 cubic inches (7.5 litre), so this velocity is theoretically
possible. Unfortunately, FWT's speedometer only goes to 80 mph, so the
last 20 could only be determined by estimation and dead reckoning.
That, combined with 24 year-old suspension parts and North Idaho roads
have precluded that option.
The next step is to find an ozone machine to rent.
Minor OM content: I sniped a Panagor 2X convertor from O-Boy! for $8.
I had planned to remove the glass, and use it as an extension tube. It
showed up yesterday, in a nice leather case, and Olympus body and rear
caps. Looks to be unused - too nice to gut <sigh>.
