1970 Seafoam Build - infuriating update

[MKMcCoy]

Yesterday: truck ready - all road testing, accessory checks, driveline checks, final detail complete.

Transporter arrives at noon to pick up for delivery me to me today.

Against every warning, the [compound expletive deleted}ing driver adds lumber on the ramps. Of course, a board kicks up and creases the rear 1/4 panel.

So, all is now pushed back for (re)body work, (re)prep and (re)respray.

This is actually an almost two year ordeal (just like the 6G, where I am a Day One reservation and still do not have a truck), as my first foray into acquiring my dream truck ended badly last year when the exquisite 1972 Wind Blue U15 I bought and shipped from California turned into a nightmare. I went to title and plate it here in Fl and was informed it had a junked stamp from NMVTIS. FL will not plate vehicles with stamps. That one went back to Cali.

And yes, this is a first-world problem, so after cooling off over the last 18 hours, I have perspective. Still....

Man that sucks! I dont understand why he put the boards in there. Truck looks like it would have had plenty of clearance! Good luck with it all.
I understand the frustration on the 6G broncos took over a year to get mine and it want even a high end model. But when you get behind the wheel of either bronco it will be worth it!

I like my women straight and my Broncos stock. Why the driver added wood is a mystery.
I've on and off loaded hundreds of vehicles and heavy equipment for decades, I'm clueless why this occurred.
The upside? Seafoam Green and uncut...I think I just felt something move.

Get feedback. I'll cop to being part of my own 6G problem - the lack of a white top and (IMHO) the ridiculously blah black/brown/grey/roast/black brown.... interior choices put me off converting to an order.

On the plus side, I'm going to take a run at the Heritage Limited (yeah, as if I have a shot) - man, that Robins Egg Blue....

Agree and agree. My theory is this mouth-breather has ramps he doesn't trust and wanted extra stability.

Yeah - uncut and that color (I know its 71 only, so sue me..........)
