Strodder · 05-19-2011, 03:22 PM

Oh that.

So do you like the crap I send you?

ruffrida2005 · 05-19-2011, 05:50 PM

I like the crap you send me too Dennis. Most of it is funny.

Strodder · 05-19-2011, 09:20 PM

Glad you enjoy them Paul.

aggie91 · 05-20-2011, 05:35 PM

Dave, if I was closer I would take that frame/trailer off your hands. I could use it for one of my project ideas...I just don't have the time (or the gas money) to drive up there and get it...

When do you expect the parts from Zack? How much was the shipping on that stuff?

daverod · 05-20-2011, 08:03 PM

Zack where are u?

I'm thinking shipping might have been a lot? To ship a cab from Texas was about 800.

CVA59 · 05-23-2011, 12:07 AM

Dave I'm still waiting for a shipping quote. Should have it tomorrow. My shipping guy was super busy last week. He said he will have something probably tomorrow. Sorry for the delay

Dave, I sent you a PM. The parts are ready to ship.

daverod · 05-25-2011, 02:28 PM

Thanks again for your help Zack. Can't wait to get my little truck back on the road. Tell your dad thanks also.

So to be as good as it ever was.

ruffrida2005 · 05-25-2011, 05:49 PM

Now your gonna have to paint that thing. I loved the patina it had. R.I.P. Patina!

daverod · 05-25-2011, 09:37 PM

Funny thing is is that it was all painted. I fixed both fenders, so they were painted. The bed was crushed on on side and it was painted. I fixed the tailgate with parts from my orange 66. On the other side of the bed I fixed the stake pockets so it was mostly painted. The drivers door and both rockers were also painted. The hood and passanger door were the only thing I did'nt touch. I was getting to the door it still needed alittle work. I'm gettin good at fakin it. On my 52 I painted two fenders and part of the cab you cant even tell the difference. brown,black,gray,color and little overspray of white. Rub till done.

Checked on a price to get my grill chromed. 600 I about $hit. Does that seem right I can get a chrome one online for about 300. Think I'll just keep the painted one for now, it's kinda rusty and has that used look. Started to put the 64 back together. Got my radiatior put in. Had to make some different brackets because its shorter than the old one. Messed around with one of my fenders, might be able to bang it back into shape.

Strodder · 05-27-2011, 10:46 AM

It's probably much better chrome, but not worth 600 smackers. Maybe Powder coat it.

ruffrida2005 · 05-27-2011, 11:29 AM

The chrome ones you buy are probably single dipped, and they probably quoted you to have it tripple dipped.

56taskforce · 05-27-2011, 12:13 PM

Due to the E.P.A. chrome shops have all but disappeared across the country, if you are going to chrome anything I would suggest that you really shop around. I have never used them but then again it has been 20 years since I have had anything chromed but it seem Advanced plating somewhere in Texas I believe is the name that I most often hear at shows. I have also heard in order to make it worth wile you have to save and send everything you want done at once if you do it a piece or two at a time you end up nickel and diming your self to death. Of course this will all change buy the time I am ready LOL.

56taskforce · 05-27-2011, 12:22 PM

Oh BTW every REPOP chrome part that I have put on my 56 that have not yet seen the light of day yet has little rust pits coming through. Cheap China chome

The cheap A$$ Asian garbage that is being shipped in to the states for our trucks is crap.

Pure and simple.
I sent every chrome part I bought back to the vendor because it was second rate thin pot metal junk...

56taskforce is right, I took in every part I could find on my truck that needed rechroming and the total was a little more than the quote for just stripping, straightening and chroming my stock front bumper. Bulk price is the better price guys. At least that is what I found.

SulphuriousSam · 05-27-2011, 03:05 PM

Where I work we've had lots of bad chrome from China and Taiwan. What we've had to do is specify that it must be Nickel and then Chrome plated because they will leave out that process which ends up looking very bad, and rusts easy.

CVA59 · 05-27-2011, 03:33 PM

Where can we buy quality chrome bumpers here in the US?

Strodder · 05-27-2011, 03:42 PM

These guys have good prices on everything.

Speaking very seriously,
I have ordered 4 bumpers total for my 66 (front bumpers) and all were flimsy garbage.
The best bumper I have is a rechromed painted bumper that was near perfect when I took it to the platers. I am only short a good rear bumper for both my 63 and 66...

CVA59 · 05-27-2011, 03:51 PM

This is sad that there are not more places that offer quality chrome anymore.
