I feel your pain brother...

Mar-K had a free shipping offer (along with 10% off) a couple of months ago. They honored the free shipping for 8 foot bed wood. It's the only reason my truck has new wood...

GMC Pauls is in Indiana, great to deal with. Also Classic Parts is in Kansas City I believe, not the East Coast but closer than Cali...

I have great dealing with Bill Athey (atheys classic trucks in Front Royal VA) Board Name PICKUPMAN. MGBMIKES, and CLASSIC HEARTBEAT (WES). Bill is on the east coast, but the other two are across the states. I have dealt with others on the board and I cant claim that the results were good for me so for the most part my business goes to these guys above.

all names stated above are great to deal with... you can come down to Carlisle, PA and meet up with a few of them for deals and no shipping costs.

check out carsofcarlisle.com... fall show is your next big event.

**Tim Christian** · 08-09-2011, 08:48 PM

Thanks for the props guys but Chris Pardy is the man at Top Banana Parts I do work part time for them at shows and so forth sometimes But I have another job that is my main bread and butter!

bobs409 · 08-10-2011, 06:39 AM

I'm still waiting for a reply to an email I sent to Top banana about a month ago.

I guess it got lost in cyberspace. Will try again...

I too would love to find a vendor within driving distance for big parts. There is only one that I know of nearby (35 miles away) an he's a PITA. Everytime I order something, he strings you along saying "it will be here in 2 days" but of course, it never is. It's usually a month later you actually get the stuff. It's aggravating!!!!!

While we're on the subject, are there any vendors from here that will be going to the fall Carlisle that actually has the inner cowl panel for these trucks at a decent price?

They sell for $195-$315 in my research (not sure why the big difference, could be one of the great mysteries of our time) but the shipping is a killer. Some say they can ship UPS III and others insist on truck shipping. Truck shipping is a joke at $150 or higher!

CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS PART?

bcutt · 08-10-2011, 08:14 AM

I got my inner cowl panel from Southern KY Classics. It was only $195 when i bought it and I picked it up in person to avoid shipping cost. Give them a call and they can tell you what it would cost to ship to PA...

**Tim Christian** · 08-10-2011, 06:22 PM

Hey Bobs409, Chris told me he talked to you about the inner cowl you wanted delivered to Truck Carlisle but it was on back order???? Is this correct????? Thanks

bobs409 · 08-10-2011, 07:56 PM

Couldn't have been me. ?? I was going to make the drive to Carlisle for the truck nationals if he could get one but I never heard back.

I'd still be willing to make that drive for the fall Carlisle if possible.

**Tim Christian** · 08-10-2011, 08:22 PM

I will see if he has a ETA on them and get him to get in touch with you. He was suppose to let you know before the truck show. I apoligize for him

bobs409 · 08-11-2011, 06:15 AM

Thanks Tim. This part has been "elusive" to say the least.
