grendel.... I'm glad to see that the cab made it to your location. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it, but I'm glad to know that it's going to be used in a great project.

Best of luck!

You're more than welcome to it. That cab I bought is NOT "ready for paint" as he stated. There's more bondo in it than I have in my entire tow rig project. In the windshield frame, in the rear corners.

From the guys doing the body work:

"Thick areas of mud, panels not properly welded, neither inner kick panel is complete, windshield frame has a lot of mud, drivers side lower 'A' pillar is 1/2" away from the outer rocker...etc.
All that and we haven't even looked underneath yet...

Going up today and pulling the interior out of the GMC for a better look but after looking it over on Monday, I'm thinking it's an easier repair than the yellow cab in the long run."

I am PISSED.

Grendal. Sorry about the cab.. This is what I was told that the cab was good to go no bondo.. Trying to make it right for you.. Just wish you werent in NH this would be mush easier. I am by no means a bodyman and i guess just a dumbass.

I responded to your last email response.

I can post pictures of the areas of concern.

[bguild]

yeah can you.. please.. This will help me understand what you are talking about because obviously i am clueless.

I would like to get a look at what you are saying is wrong.

I asked Kurt to email them. I will post them when I get them.

After I want to delete these posts, as this is supposed to be about my father's truck rodstoration, not about a cab I can't use.

[bguild]

just send them to my email.. Lets not mess up the thread. I will work with you.. we will get something worked out.. I just wish you werent in NH and I in KC.

[bguild]

Sorry again and it will all work alright.

I hope so. Here's some pictures for your viewing pleasure, of this cab that's "ready for paint" Notice the rust in the first two pictures? Yeah, that's coming from UNDER the bondo.

More: I post these, because it's a part of this rodstoration, I guess. I won't be doing anything with this cab and it's costing me substantial money that limits my ability to really do this.

History, I guess.

I offered a full refund for the cab. Once i get the cab he will get his money back.
I also offered a partial refund and him keep the cab.. This guy is very hard to work with.. I dont know what more he wants.. Trying to make it right but does not seem to be working so well.

I really wish I would have just sold this locally.

Read your email.
You know it would cost me another 600.00 in addition to the 1200 (total) I already spent to get it back to you.

You also know that I don't want to keep this cab.

Quoting for posterity, before they change or delete.

So, Kurt and I decided we're moving forward with the original cab my father rebuilt years ago.

We're ordering new patch panels, which will include floors, inner and outer rockers, a rear window patch and firewall work.

Yurgh.

Not trying to be a monday morning quarterback; or side with one guy or another but here is how I buy used sheetmetal. I only buy it if it is in the factory paint. If it has primer or new paint I stay away like the plague. Obviously something with factory paint isnt hiding something where the other could be and usually is. I understand that it is not easy to find factory untouched sheetmetal but it is usually worth the wait and the extra price. Just what I do.

grendel, I'm sorry to hear that things worked out the way the have. Best of luck rebuilding your father's original cab, and in the end it will have more "value" to you and your family.

Keep us posted!
