I am looking for this company because someone told me that they have a smaller brake booster setup and also a brake booster that you can position under the cab. Please let me know if any of you guys have ever heard of this company.

Do a search for Turners on the suspension forum. There are several less than happy individuals that have had dealings w/him. Apparently he can be hard to get in touch with.

I personally have spoke w/him on the phone & he was a really nice guy so I referred a neighbor to him for parts. My neighbor said he won't do business w/him again.

He got part of his order but was charged for everything. He decided to send back some of the stuff that was missing the parts (on his own dime), but then had issues getting the refund. I felt bad the deal didn't go well. I did put the control arms on that my neighbor kept & they were nice quality.

Now, my neighbor could have been leaving out some details & there's 2 sides to every story. Read up before spending your $$.

Thanks for the quick reply. I read through a lot of the posts and I don't think that I will be dealing with Mr. Turner. I actually found a chrome master cylinder and brake booster with mounting braket from JEGS. I am amazed they had this part. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes.

I met Mr Turner out here in Cali at the Long Beach Hi-Performance Swapmeet.
He was not the friendliest guy. I asked about him installing a front airbag system on my 69, he said he would not do it unless it was the whole truck and he gave a price of 7000.00. I thought I was hearing things and I asked again. Told me the same price. Another guy I know said he had problems with his suspension parts matching up. He called McGaullys out here in Fresno and said he was happy with the parts they had because they bolt right up with no problem. Turner seems to have nice stuff, but when im spending my hard earn money, I dont need a bad attitude and I want my stuff to work. The first time.
