A little bit about me and my business AZPartsLocators & some recent NOS & rare items

[1774btcrew]

I have had the pleasure of dealing with many of you over the past few years. I have had some great transactions and ended up with some good friends and regular customers. I wanted to post up some recent finds and got to thinking that even though I have been on here quite a few years many of you don't know much about me. I figured it was time for a proper introduction. I was born in a small town in Colorado just inside the Four Corners. From birth I was always around vintage muscle cars and race cars. My grandfather owned a large company that built most of the locations for oil wells in the 4 corners from 1953- the early 80s when he sold the business. Now here is where my love for the square body trucks comes from. My dad was a supervisor for my grandfather's business and he had a brand new fully loaded Chevy truck every year. These weren't the most practical work trucks as they were all short beds and many were big block trucks. But that is what my dad thought looked best. He had the first diesel powered Chevy delivered west of the Mississippi. I have included a picture of this. I am the one to the right in the picture.
As I grew older and went to high school I specialized in Auto body. I did this through my early 20's. I then got married and had a family. I realized I needed a job that had a paycheck every week that I could count on so I went into construction. Once Ebay came out I gradually started making purchases there. I soon realized I could also sell on there. I started without a real computer and was using something called WebTv. It was basically a keyboard, and processor that used the TV for a monitor. As the years went on I was selling stuff on Ebay on the side to supplement my income. I began selling more and more. We purchased our first house and work became slow so I decided to do the Ebay thing full time. That was over 11 years ago. I developed AZPartsLocators.com and began specializing in parts for the 1973-1987 Chevy and GMC trucks. I would have never gotten where I am today without the support of my wife and family as well as all of you. I appreciate your business!
The following photos are some of the finds/purchases from the last 3 weeks. I hope you guys enjoy and I look forward to making friends with many more of you in the future.
