I need to vent a bit....I bought a 74 stepside in south carolina a few months back. I have been through 3 shipping companies whom all just seem to have disappeared somewhere, luckily I didn't have to put money down, they were all COD. I have also been fortunate that the gentleman that I bought it from is not upset yet..yet!! Now heres the kicker, the fourth company that I called..DAS SHIPPING, very respectable took care of everything over the phone and even is giving me updates as the move is made, but I learned today the the "NOS fenders and steps" which I bought with the project truck are actually not with the truck and the company claims to not know where they are and that they were not in the truck. The gentleman whom I bought the truck from said he strapped them in the bed before they loaded the truck on the trailer. Anywho, the truck is no in georgia, one more state further from its destination and it will be a week before I get it...Valuable lesson learned...

Man you have me a little concerned now. That stinks to lose the fenders, those things are pricey.

I am trying to get a truck moved from Muscle Shoals to Indy. Would you mind sending me PM with the guys who left you hanging?

I heard bad things on other forums about DAS as well.

I bought a 1970 RS/SS Camaro out of Bonita ,California . I used DAS and it arrived without a hitch . I think it was here in 5 days even though I didnt pay the extra amount to have it gauranteed in 5 days . My car came with some extras and they were all still there . I recently shipped a 45,600 original mile Impala to California . The driver made a complete list of the cars imperfections (very few ) and a couple things I put in the trunk . Did DAS make a list of what was loaded ? I wonder if the parts were there to begin with ? I would definitely question the driver . Frank
