Guys on here are great. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In The Ten Ring · 10-17-2017, 12:55 AM

In 2014 I paid a $400.00 down payment to a member so he could hang onto two OEM stepside fenders for me with the understanding "I'd get those when I had the space." Yesterday I met that member, paid the remaining $100.00, and left with the two fenders.

Where else could you find such great people?

*Jason, you rock man.

I agree , I have made many friends here .

CG · 10-17-2017, 07:19 AM

TIL: Stepside fenders are expensive, and Jason rocks

Nice

THREE YEARS??? I woulda scrapped 'em!

Who cares about the people? There are lots of nice truck pictures here!!!

I've always felt and conveyed a community spirit here. As far as buying and selling goes, it's not just a classified listing, it's selling among friends, for the most part. Something Ebay and PayPal could never give you. A snake doesn't last long here.

What's funny is I've seen posts on this very forum "Hey guys, this other member sent me a deposit for X parts, its two years later, no word, what should I do?"

And the general consensus was always to resell them

Not entirely the OP's situation as he stayed in contact with the seller, but I just find it funny

Chewychevy67,

So that was you? I had forgotten your online name (and your real name too actually).

Did you ever get those door skins welded on?

Our little adventure with those door skins was perhaps my best example of such things.....and a great example of "oh this will take two weeks" and turned into over a month.

I'd call or hear from Jason about once a year but there wasn't much else I could do....space is that limited at my house. These fenders will be washed and then piled onto my queen-sized bed (I usually sleep on a couch) at least until I get the garage more cleaned out and those put in there. I realized I could take them about a month ago when the two fenders that had been piled on that bed went onto my truck so I started calling and I left several messages with no reply. I was getting a bit nervous, thinking maybe he and his wife had been in some sort of accident and were hospitalized!

But last week his wife answered the phone and well, now I have the fenders.

Jason is also much younger than I expected him to be...he has such a smooth and wise-sounding voice on the phone....turns out he's younger than me.

Totally agree, I've received great assistance and have made friends with some as well.

What comes around goes around. I still appreciate you helping me with those door skins as well. This board is full of helpful knowledgeable honest people!

I've got that beat by a year. I bought and paid for a rocker/corner/floor cab cut including shipping. He said it came out too big and didn't want to ship it. I said I would eventually make it up that way and pick it up in the future. That was four years ago! Oh well, it'll work out one of these days.

BCOWANWHEELS · 10-17-2017, 12:54 PM

me too, the members have been a real blessing to me so many times

chewychevy67 · 10-17-2017, 01:48 PM

I have not got to that stage yet. My build has been all small advances for the last year. Hope next year I can get to finish bodywork.

GASoline71 · 10-17-2017, 07:51 PM

I asked a member local to me about long bed bedsides he might have laying around. I went to his place (2 hour drive) and ended up buying a parts truck too! Member Livrat (Mark) has been a great source of knowledge for me and a few parts to boot. I got to oogle over the 4x4 he ended up selling to another local member, CG.

I have you all beat. I have a pair of ‘58 Chevy front fenders in the barn that I picked up for a member out east. He has tried a couple of times to get out here but it hasn’t worked out for him. I just looked at the last PM I sent him. It was 5/25/2010.... Unless I kick the bucket, they will be there whenever he makes it out here.

Yes you certainly do Leon! It's an honor to have met you and your very kind wife at the Truck Nationals as well as many others from this great "Bowtie Brotherhood!"
