Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

HAve any of you been screwed by him personally? Or just know he sells low quality parts?

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

no, because i wouldn't let him!!!! we see this guy on a regular basis at the swapmeets hear in n.texas. we see what he sells and how he sells. he has bought several items from me, i'm not scared of his money, just his wheeling/dealing ways. i flag his post everyday on cl. shane,gump and myself are trying to warn people on the board and cl and at the swapmeets about this guy so maybe he will go away and quit screwing good people. we are not talking trash about him to just pass the time of day.....

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

Is he the guy who keeps trying to sell a brake conversion with real bad spelling? My apologies if its a board member with real bad spelling...:lol:

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

You see him on ebay quite a bit as truckparts67-72. Thats also his ebay store.

From all the bad deals on here over the years, its better to just stay away. I actually bought something from him when he first started here over 5 years ago, but it wasn't a chrome part and it was ok.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

That's him too?? Phew..I had him on my seller's list but never bought anything from him. I e-mailed him a question about a part and he never responded so I didn't buy it. Good thing I suppose.

I wish that I could have caught the CL posting before it was deleted.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

:lol: I knew it! I checked out the website after seeing it on CL but something about it, probably the lack of editing, just gave me a bad feeling.

If you're gonna spend the money to put up a website at least have somebody edit it for spelling and grammar....

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

man, i wonder if there is any way to get a whole thread about just me without being a shady, lying, decietful person? haha just a thought

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

I never dealt with him myself. But I had a good friend on the Stovebolt that ended up losing about 3 grand. Sent him a beautiful grill from a late 30's truck. James managed to destroy the grill, plated it and shipped it back several months later. And for James that is good service.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

I think that Ebay banned him.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

i didnt know who gump was but yeas he was refering to you as well in the CL post.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

Is this him on the austin site?
http://austin.craigslist.org/pts/596378680.html

He posts similar stuff DAILY.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

yeah

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

personally i bought a tach cluster from him and before i purchased i asked if it worked on the six cylinder as well and he said yes. "Six, eight the tachs are the same. we were at a swap meet so i should have researched a little better before buying but i took his word since he was only selling 67-72 parts, i thought he knew his product.
well after finding out it would not work i tried to get ahold of him to see if i could just get a credit so i could buy some other things from him.
that didnt work he never returned email or phone calls
well i decided to sell the cluster only to have the purchaser return it because the cluster would not work, curcuitry issues.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

Good to know, I was talking to him about a new fender and bumper. Deleting that now.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

He is still hitting Austin CL pretty hard. New members beware. It must be slim pickins in Dallas for him. He has 2 different numbers. Same guy.

Re: james blanton taking shots at one of the family
 

I used to buy alot from Kennys Trucks when they came to Baytown Tx. They are one of the reasons we are in business. I watched them grow and it gave me the inspiration to do it to. I would reccomend them in a heartbeat. Here is their website.
