Got out the electric can opener... called an Air-Arc to open things up so I knew what I was playing with... not good. What you see at the bottom of the opening is packed dust and rust caused by said dust.

I have a feeling this is going to be a pain in my ass. It wouldn't be to bad if it was our normal dump truck... this truck also is used to haul rocks and boulders. When I say rocks we are talking big pumpkin sized rocks up to Honda Civic sized boulders. So these pillars take a load and beating when dumping the load.
