My 71 just became a 70

I added this stuff to the end of my build thread for record cause someday this will be done and I think this step might be an important one to keep a record of but I thought I would put it out here to get some opinions and maybe some info on the SPID since the vin does not decode the same way as others that are posted here. "CE234" 2wd,ve,3/4 ton, 34? what does that mean?" anyway here goes the old cab issues and the new cab pics.::

Today is another wonderful day building my dream truck. As you could see earlier in this thread I took the truck to the paint shop on 7-10 I got a call today they did some work on it on Thursday and finally got the cab blasted. My sister was at a BBQ where one of the guys from the shop was at. He was talking about (*****ing really) about how much work the truck needed kinda ticked me off be I let it go.

Now for the update. I had stopped by once a week since 7-20 checking for any progress when I got a call Thursday (9-11) that they got the cab blasted. Here are the pics.











Looks like it took what looked pretty bad to it looked even worse. He was spraying it with epoxy here.

After seeing my cab on Friday. I decided to actually look for another cab. Prior to this He was asking me if I was sure I couldn't find a better one. Since I have already bought 4 trucks to make this one and they were all supposed to be solid to start with I was frustrated. I told him I was tired of buying more and more just to find out it needed as much or more work and I just wasted time, money, space, & hassle to get nowhere but the same place so what ever it needs just order it pieces and fix this one.
