Gotta love a real happy ending!
Looks to be a very nice piece.

 

Good on them to come through, that little truck is going to rule, can't wait to see it!

 

Oh, damn, they gave you the whole back section, that is cool !! I thought they were only going to give you the center of that piece. This will make it a piece of cake to replace the back section.

I'm happy for you. It confirms what I always knew, the folks at BV are really good people.

This will make it so much easier for you to complete the repair.

Two comments.... One, quite a contrast between Brookville and this vendor...
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/brake-line-advice.987398/

And two, kudos to both OPs AND Brookville for handling these issues in a calm, fair manner.

 

You will never see customer service like that from the Hoffman Companies!!

 

Wow , Brookville to the rescue !! That will DEFINITELY make an easier job of it.

 

Nice piece.

 

Wow, nice piece, this thread has been a great read. The final outcome and the reason/explanation for the new piece only helps further the companies reputation, as Cyclone mentioned above, " treat others like you want to be treated "

 

Now that's how ya do business!

 

Aight man, hair blowin' times ahead! Don't forget some progress pics. Like a buncha folks swinging by to check out the build.....without the spillin' beer 'n knockin' shit over. Hammer down man, good luck!

 

blake, i`m sure glad it worked out the way it did, i`m sure you`re going to feel a lot better about the quality of the finished car.

Thanks, fellas... completely happy with the outcome here. I don't wanna gush too much, but Brookville handled this just about perfectly. Nice folks running a smart business which focuses on customer retention and positive word o' mouth.

Spread the word!

 

Blake doesn't have much to blow!

 

Glad you got the part.

 

I choose to describe it as having the wind in my face...

 

Hahaha

 

Had some recent renewed interest in this old post, so thought I'd post a pic of the project as it stands today. Obviously, it's been slow going as life, other projects, and general frustration tempered my progress... but GNRS got me fired up again! So, this weekend I started shimming the body fit to get prepped for some interior support structure. Once done, I can start prepping the cab for paint... then it's on to incidentals like wiring, etc.

The replacement rear cab section provided by Brookville was a huge improvement over the bondo'd original, but it took lots of effort for a novice metal guy to make it fit as well as the original did. It's damn close now... just need to lock it down.

 

I wonder how many people got 1/2 way thru this thread and stopped feeling Brookville did him wrong, without finding out the true ending.

 

OK, Now did you ever get the free T-Shirt? HRP

 

I love everything about this truck! Color combo, 4-71, wheels/tires.. nailed it Blake!

 

I had convinced myself that your grille shell was a different color until these last pics. Great color choice!

 

That is one bitchin RPU.

 

Its great to see you back on it again!

 

I dunno, but it's their loss... they missed out on a fascinating story arc with a big payoff twist ending.

Nope... dammit.

Thanks, man.

Thanks!!

 

So good!!!
