198Plus build

This a pretty wild story. I listed some parts on CL and 198Plus called me about my SWB step bed I had for sale. I told him about this forum and sent him a link to my build. He signed up and contacted me right away and said he was interested in me doing his truck.

Well, we met today. He is one cool dude. He bought my bed and a fender and left his other fender and doors with me. He told me of his experiences with bodyshops and it wasn't good. I'm sure he will chime in with more info.

It was his Dad's truck I believe and wants to make a nice original driver out of it for weekend cruises.

So for now I've got the bed, doors and fenders to work on and he will be bringing the cab in a couple of weeks. Here are some shots of what other shops have done to him. One shop swipped his good doors and gave these to him and not telling him. He said they were painted and all nice and shinny until further inspection. He had them blasted and this is what he found.









This was impressive
