Does anyone know anything about this tub builder in Iowa?

[Beau Nugget]

Does anyone have any experience with this shop and the bronco bodies they build? At some point I’m going to replace my tub, and I was hoping to get some feedback on them They’re considerably closer to me than some of the other builders, so I thought I’d ask around about them. Thanks

I've not heard of that one. The only place I would buy one from is from Nick at northeast classic Ford parts. It's worth the drive imo to know that it will be 100% correct and done right. Have you toured the place in Iowa?

I have a tub from Rust Belt Broncos and having issues with it not being perfectly square and the cowel being a little off center so the driver fender cannot be mounted flush without modification because the inner flange bumps into it before in is against the door post. It is mostly good but you'd think something built on a jig should be perfect. Not quite.

I wish Tom's Offroad tub were available when I bought mine.

No. I have not toured them. I really don’t know anything about them except what’s on their website. Thanks for your thoughts on Northeast classic fords. I’ve heard good things about him, and when I talked to him , I had a good conversation.

That’s good to know. Thanks for sharing

I will say they were willing to have me send the fender back for modification but I am just going to do it myself.

I did also but on one of those summer specials they advertise on Facebook and was initially told a month to get it. It took 6 months. Again, I am satisfied but expected more.

Rust Belt Broncos and Body By Hartman are not the same company correct? Just both out of Ohio.? I have heard really good things on the Body By Hartman.

I am not sure. Again, mine is not terrible or anything it just isn't as perfect as I would have liked and it sounds like Tom's Offroad is taking the extra time to get it right.
