NiftyFifty Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 Well I've been doing work to my 51 front grill section for a few weeks now, shaving the frame slots and a lot of the mounting holes for the grill bars and tonight I decided to see how things would fit to my 50 hood. I knew I would have to slice the centre section down a bit at the nose, but now I realize the wings are different too, not by a lot, but different and want work....and I unfortunately destroyed one side of my 51 hood with the tractor bucket when the chain I was using to move the truck slipped. I'm back to square one now... The last thing I needed being this late in the summer already Quote
Brent B3B Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 Dang, that's no good. Look on the bright side, summer just began.... :^) Quote
NiftyFifty Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Posted June 24, 2014 I wrecked the passenger side wing, but I threw an ad up yesterday and got a call right away for a local one, so here's hoping its the right year! Quote
55 Fargo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 Sorry to hear about this, hope your donor hood works out for you.... Quote
NiftyFifty Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Posted June 24, 2014 Wrong year, local hunt continues I guess for awhile then I'll have to start getting shipping quotes for our US friends! Quote
55 Fargo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 Ship it to Mikes Parcel Service at Pembina ND, then go pick it up, and bring into Manitoba. Mikes charges about $5 for handling, and shipping from any point in the USA will bea lot cheaper, than bringing it into Canada. Quote
NiftyFifty Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I ship to the one at Dunseith all the time, but even shipping to there would most likely cost an arm and a leg unless someone in ND or MN had. I might take the psgr side wing to a buddy who builds hot rods and see if he thinks Its repairable, he does some amazing things with metal that I can dream of Edited June 25, 2014 by 4mula-dlx Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 I've got the hood I could pull apart, or if Ed is going back to French Lake soon...we might live in one of those two states... Quote
NiftyFifty Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 I've got the hood I could pull apart, or if Ed is going back to French Lake soon...we might live in one of those two states... Much appreciated, I'm going to try a couple of last spots and then I'm going to take you up on your offer, I want to keep moving on this truck and hopefully get it back together by fall Quote
Young Ed Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 Let me know quick I'll be going either saturday or next week sometime. Quote
NiftyFifty Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 Well I'm no where near French lake, or is the hood there? That would be about 11 hour drive shipping anywhere in MN shouldn't be too bad to Dunseith ND, but I put an ad up on the local radio station swap n shop and that might get me a few calls I hope Quote

NiftyFifty Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Posted June 25, 2014 Ok, if I don't hear anything here by tomorrow I'll let you know Quote
