Beth's tribute truck. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Progress seem pretty slow, but I am moving forward. FedEx has lost the one off custom bumper for Beth's tribute truck. I am pissed beyond words! It was done, it was chrome plated along with a NP205 transfer case shifter. Just about $3500.00 lost in one box! Anyway moving forward I set the cab on and bed floor to figure out if there were any modifications that are going to have to be made. There is a couple but I feel pretty fortunate. It could have been worse. Anyway here are some pictures.

Wow. Pretty impressive to lose a bumper. Surely it'll turn up. Still making progress though. Looking good Wes.

Good to see progress since I last looked. FedEx has been unreliable lately. Hopefully it will eventually show up. I had a pair of 10 ton extended jack stands that went missing for a almost a month from FedEx. Company resent and that order seemed to be lost as well and in the end I now have two pairs. Very large boxes that were taped up and almost destroyed on both shipments. Just jack stands so it did not matter.
I contacted seller to return, they offered half price on extra pair not to return and I have never heard back from them.

Losing that stuff sucks. I hope FedEx is covering the loss! Great that you're making progress though.

Thank you everyone. Yes it does suck big time! I am not sure I will be able to replace it. WES

Well I have an update on the bumper. It was located! Woooo Hoooo! However when it was delivered to me it was damaged. Part of the seam where the park lamp holes were welded in cracked and so the bumper has to go in to be repaired and re-chromed. Sucks, but whatever, sore subject now!

Beautiful job on the NP205 Shifter. I think my reproduction shifter knob looks great also.

Moving along on the fitting and customizing. Getting ready to fit the behind the rear side marker gas filler.

one more picture..

I think I am going to move the rear end back an inch or so. I know this is how they came from the factory, but it just isn't appealing to me.
