Our Own Parts Section? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 11-13-2009, 07:44 AM

What do you guys think?

Would it be helpful to have a K5 specific parts for sale section?

If you think so, you can post your input here in site feedback:

I say yes, I know this issue has come up before and I am just happy to have this Board when I get the chance to get on. I know I have missed opportunities to buy parts where the posts quickly went to the 2nd or 3rd page because of the amount of posts that come on and I didn't have the time to go all the way through all the posts searching which is what I do every morning 1st page later if I get a chance search deeper

Another thing we could do is ask for permission to post for sale items (blazer specific) in the blazer /jimmy forum. This forum is not a fast mover like the trucks forum and would be alot easier to keep track of your for sale posts.Just an idea...

HuggerCST · 11-13-2009, 01:43 PM

I thought about that too, and personally, I like this idea better, but the problem is if one forum is allowed to do it, then the others will want the same priviledge, and it snowballs.

cvalcore · 11-13-2009, 03:37 PM

i think its a great idea it would make it a ton easyer to find blazer parts.

The current WTB and WIW sections see very little traffic. There would be no reason to have a seperate section for Blazers.

That is not a viable option. Adding a separate Blazer/Jimmy/Burb classified section is being considered due to the heavy traffic in the 67-72 Classifieds.

The reason the Blazer/Jimmy forum was locked was out of complete disrespect for the rules of the forum along with the Forum Staff when they attempted to enforce those rules.

A few members decided the Blazer/Jimmy section was their own private forum and they could run it as they saw fit. When a well respected Staff member insisted they follow the guidelines, they decided to stage a little rebellion. That resulted in a closed forum.

If you want the staff to consider changes, asking in a positive manner as you have done here gets the option considered. Taking matters in your own hands does not.

**bigdon-70blazer** · 11-14-2009, 09:21 AM

Great idea...

vtblazer · 11-17-2009, 08:32 AM

Bump from the bottom.

Just a guess but having only 13 people from the blazer/jimmy forum isn't going to get us our own parts board.

Remember, it's up to us.

JimmyFloyd · 11-17-2009, 11:24 AM

I would be in for a blazer specific section. There are times when I am looking for specific parts, and I don't really want to troll through 3-4 pages in the parts section every day as i tend to miss stuff.

Critter · 11-17-2009, 11:28 AM

I put in my $0.02 over on the other thread. I think it is a great idea.

wnc mountain · 11-17-2009, 08:20 PM

I am for a separate parts thread. Being new to the blazer thing I'm learning to use the search function more. Would be much easier in a blazer parts forum or sub-forum.

Sacramento70 · 11-17-2009, 08:28 PM

count me in thats a great idea

**Ron 586** · 11-17-2009, 11:58 PM
