Buying something big off the internet doesn't come without its concerns. Will the item be as advertised? Is the seller one of integrity? If I have to have it shipped, will it get here undamaged? I just want to say a big thank you to Carl (4950ford), Ben (BenD) and Mike (EarlScheib). Carl gave me a fantastic deal on a very solid 1949 Dodge Pilothouse truck cab. Ben was gracious enough to bring it from Oklahoma to Georgia. Mike was kind enough to come along with Ben and help get the cab up in the yard. First off, I didn't think I'd EVER find an old Dodge cab, because lets face it, they ain't growin on trees anymore. I'm not sure they ever were. Secondly, everybody in the loop made it happen and I just wanted to say thanks. I reckon now I need to get a build thread goin.
Bump. I just wanna make sure this gets seen. Lots of bad news....I wanted to share some good stuff. Thank you drive through.
I love it when a plan comes together. Kudos to all involved. Now get crackalackin on the build so we can watch!
Ben D helped me with some Viky interior mldgs. Prefect parts, delivered as promised and fair price. Highly recomended!! Besides he 's a Bonneville Guy. What more could you ask for!! Thanks Ben, been meaning to do this for a while
I was glad to hear the tale, what really grabbed me was the thread dedicated to thanking the guys, and making it known the elation of finding the Pilothouse cab. Great people all around, makes me proud to be here.
Are these Pilot House trucks really that rare? The old fellas at the shop just traded a Pontiac Streamliner for a complete one in full primer. I thought they were nuts. The truck is a big old beast though! Just looked like a big ugly truck to me.
not all that rare, ugly? beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think with a shave and a haircut, they are very presentable, see avatar......
I have heard so much about those two, BendD and EarlScheib. Great guys by all accounts. One day I am gunna meet them and shake their hands ..... one day
Kudos to all involved. It is great to hear something good happening when all you usually seem to hear is when something goes bad.
Thanks goes out to you to rob, it was my pleasure. Im like the other hambers that have commented on this thread, we are a very upstanding bunch of guys and gals and if we cant help each other out then we dont have any business calling ourselves family
