Feedback on Atheys? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone ever bought from "Athey's Classic Trucks" before. I see where they are offering a 10% online discount in December. Just need to know if this is a good place to buy from.

Is shipping quick and little chance of back ordered parts?

Grreat guy. I've bought parts from him at Carlisle swap meet many times with no problem. All feedback I've heard is that he is as good as the best so I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him. In fact, any of the sponsoring dealers are super to do business with. If you are concerned about part availability and shipping, give him a call to varify. Huck

Steve, I can tell you I have met Bill Athey personally and he is a great guy to deal with. I have bought a bunch of new and used parts off him. He has alot of trucks and his shipping usually only takes 1 day to Maryland. You can't go wrong .

I've met Bill also, great guy to deal with, highly recommend.

I just got my first 2 orders in the last couple weeks there. Everything looks great. Fast shipping and cheap shipping prices. Even emails you all the info on your orders. I will be buying more from Bill soon.

I've gotten both a suburban and a blazer from Bill.

Both were very well represented with all the pics a guy would want!

Good guy, one of the hobbies best.

If you ever get the chance, take a look at the trucks he's restored! WOW!!

Bill is a great guy and runs a great business. Puts on a cool car show every year too.

Bill is a good friend of mine and does a great business with these trucks. His shop is only 45 minutes from me and makes it very conveiniant when I need something quick. He knows every bolt on these trucks.

I deal with Bill all the time. Great person and better businessman. Kerry
