I bought this back when Pilgrim Tubs and products were top quality. Had quite the good reputation in the day.
Here's Pilgrim's description:
"The steel we are getting now comes from the States. U.S. steel is of much higher quality and every sheet is the same quality. No more seconds being slid into the order like is commonly done in Central and South America. These are the first tubs that I've built with high quality 18 gauge, zinc coated U.S. sheet metal. This zinc coated sheet metal is a highly corrosion / rust resistant metal that has a high mix of zinc and is also finished with a zinc top coating.
Paul has said that he added all new production spot welders to his line that produce an extremely accurate burn which produces super strong even joints.
Paul has remade and perfected about 70% of his presses and jigs that he used last year for fewer hand built parts and for perfect assembly fit.
Paul said, "It's taken about 19 years to be able to get to this stage of quality production. All of my tubs are hand assembled, in jigs. This takes time but we guarantee that the fit is perfect. If the tub does not fit, then your chassis is out of line."
"Each tub is jigged 3 times around the shop to make sure that the final product is good and square before it's shipped. The 1/2 tub is jigged. Then when the front pan is added ...it gets jigged again. Then as a complete assembly it is placed into a final jig and rechecked for alignment and fit all the way around."
This YouTube video from an east coast professional shop describes the same exact tub. The tub I'm selling was in the same shipment to the states as this one.
I welcome any to view the tub and see quality for themselves (Denver, CO area). I can also provide further pictures. I will assist with shipping coordination but the cost is paid by buyer. Or, hopefully you're close enough to pick it up.
Thanks,
Chris
