Re: 198Plus build

Thanks for nothing Alan. HAHA JK

Ronnie I sent you a PM last week about some guy wanting some of your parts on the other forum. Just wondering if you got it.

Re: 198Plus build

I'm sure you're aware of this Alan, but for the others reading this. It would be a good ides to contact the manufacturer of the epoxy primer to see if they will approve their produst for application over a soda blasted surface. Several paint companies will not guarantee their product when applied to a soda blasted surface. PPG is one of them.

Your right Capt. This epoxy can't be used on soda blasted parts unless it is cleaned and neutralized. Ronnie is picking the cab up soon to get it sand blasted.

I need item 6 in this pic. I got a plain inner rocker patch pictured below. I'm sure you can find it cheaper, just using this pic as a referrence.



This is what the wrong part looks like on the truck.

Re: 198Plus build

You might try one of our new vendors here on the forum, topbananaparts.com I just received an order of patch panels from them today. They are Key Parts brand and upon initial inspection they look good. Top banana has some of the patch panels for the '60-'66's on sale right now too.

Thanks guys. But I think we have discovered a big problem. Read on...........

Ronnie all along didn't believe this was his cab and upon further inspection he might be right. When he had his cab in the first shop that swapped his doors might have swapped cabs as well and swapped the VIN plates. His VIN plate doesn't have the rossett rivets.

The first pic is his. The second pic is my cab and the third pic is the cab I have behind the shop. What's y'alls thoughts.

The last pics is the stuff that came off my roof when we had our first rain since the blasting got done.

Re: 198Plus build

I agree that the rivets look like they are not factory, but I also cant compare mine because i have removed my plate to make a repair.

One other comment here is that if they did remove that plate they did a heck of a job as when I was taking mine off it did not come off all that easy and has some marks where the rivets spun so in thinking about that I think you would see some marks from it being removed no matter how careful you were in taking it off

Just a thought

Re: 198Plus build

The blasting may have hidden any marks. I would say it has been removed. The question is when? I assume Ronnie does not have any photos of the VIN before he had any work done? It is unfortunate if someone did swap a cab on him. I hate when people are taken advantage of. Why can't people just be honest? At least we know the cab is in good hands now.

Alan, I always admire how you put everything out there for people to see. That is how my father built his business, and was how I was raised. Everybody may not always like the truth, but at least they can make a decision with all the information.

Re: 198Plus build

In the third pic the cab still looks painted? But the vin plate is nice and clean, but a little bent up like they did indeed remove it. The more I read about this thread/ build the more like a damn soap opera it becomes ( anything that can go wrong has/will go wrong) sorry to read the latest, hopefully you guys can get it all fixed and enjoy this truck.

Re: 198Plus build

Yes it does appear that the VIN tag has been removed at one time. Although that doesn't necessarily mean that the cab was swapped.

Man that is some nasty looking stuff coming off your roof Alan.

Re: 198Plus build

Well, it looks like this build has come to an end. Ronnie came over last night and picked his cab up. Due to the recent discoveries with the cab, Ronnie is pretty sure the cab got swapped. He remembers the condition of it when his dad still owned it. Ronnie said the truck didn't have much cancer due to being parked under a shed when his grandfather owned it. I feel sorry for Ronnie, if the cab did indeed get swapped.

Perhaps time for Guido to give those fellows a vist

Re: 198Plus build

JMHO, I think at this point and after all the work that has gone into it I would just keep moving forward as long as the VIN is matching to your title and frame.

I agree with the others I sure would like to see him finish this one it will have some good stories behind it once it is finished.

Re: 198Plus build

Ronnie needs to come out here and look for another cab, or look on E-Bay. He can be on vacation and do some shopping. There's deals around. I'll keep my eye out. Next June I'm trailering my bike to Kansas on my car trailer. I'll have room for a cab if Ronnie finds one out here. He can meet me. Better than going all the way to So Cal.

It's good to see your shop is busy. And also to see that you haven't totally given up on your '65.

Re: 198Plus build

But are you making MONEY? Most body shops want to do just Insurance Jobs. Because there isn't any money in restoring older cars. That's one of the reasons I'm keeping busy.

Paying the bills is good. Go after those insurance adjusters. They might send you work if they like your work. But remember your always under there thumb.
