andrewj7 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Looks like Al Roker is driving around in a nicely restored B1-B as part of the garden grown segment. http://www.nbcnews.com/video/al-roker-s-garden-on-the-go-honors-first-lady-s-let-s-go-initiative-724990531566 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd B Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I agree very nice. But its not a B1B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Leibhart Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 B2B They say 1952 on the video. Tail gate is not original. I wonder why they did not park the windshield wipers in the down position? Very nice I bet the rear fenders are fiberglass. That much work and not the correct hubcaps.

Don Coatney Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 "They" have not a clue. Someone could have told them it was a 1930 Dodge and "they" would believe him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 do to public embarrassment should the network choose to press the misidentification of the vehicle IF such misidentification was present at sale by the seller....would not want to be the seller in this case...but as noted seems ignorance is bliss as they are enjoying the truck..and we enjoy point out the obvious...everyone is happy....... want to see a fiasco in the making..check out the stolen Cuda found 13 years later and state's position on ownership......(Oregon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Curious about the reasoning the rear fenders may be fiberglass 1 hour ago, Larry Leibhart said: B2B They say 1952 on the video.

Jeff Balazs Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I posted photos of this truck a while back. ID and authenticity questions aside I think that since they are using this truck they ought to consider changing the show name to Yesterday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Leibhart Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yea it is cool and I am no better I should have said B3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Leibhart Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I am just guessing from the absolute perfection and slightly more sheen that the rear fenders are fiberglass. I have fiberglass rear fenders on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 My original steel fenders look as good (now) as those do. Mine came with an assortment of dings, dents, broken chain damage as well as some rust issues. Enough time spent with a hammer and dollies, slappers, cutting tools and welder can produce very good results. Maybe it's fresher paint or the way the sun hits it to give it the brighter sheen. Glass fenders can certainly reduce the time invested. I'm not sure if I have any before pics of how bad mine were when I started on them. I still need to do a cut and buff before I call them done and take finish pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
