Is he the guy who keeps trying to sell a brake conversion with real bad spelling? My apologies if its a board member with real bad spelling...

You see him on ebay quite a bit as truckparts67-72. Thats also his ebay store.

From all the bad deals on here over the years, its better to just stay away. I actually bought something from him when he first started here over 5 years ago, but it wasn't a chrome part and it was ok.

That's him too?? Phew..I had him on my seller's list but never bought anything from him. I e-mailed him a question about a part and he never responded so I didn't buy it. Good thing I suppose.

BB72CHEVKT · 03-05-2008, 03:22 AM

He is hitting East TX craigs list also

jsbgump · 03-05-2008, 03:39 AM

shaneschevys · 03-05-2008, 03:59 AM

I wish that I could have caught the CL posting before it was deleted.

Ole Blue 68 · 03-05-2008, 04:17 AM

I knew it! I checked out the website after seeing it on CL but something about it, probably the lack of editing, just gave me a bad feeling.

If you're gonna spend the money to put up a website at least have somebody edit it for spelling and grammar....

**special-K** · 03-05-2008, 04:55 AM

What can you say about a guy with many alias`?He tryed coming back on this sight selling stuff a couple years ago.He was pretending he was a woman

.We sawright through it and called him,I mean her,out.She,I mean he, disappeared.What a lahoozer.

jsbgump · 03-05-2008, 06:27 AM

I'm hoping to get the supplies to cut him off. I have a few things in the works

bcbasketball11 · 03-05-2008, 06:33 AM

man, i wonder if there is any way to get a whole thread about just me without being a shady, lying, decietful person? haha just a thought

Fred T · 03-06-2008, 01:06 AM

I never dealt with him myself. But I had a good friend on the Stovebolt that ended up losing about 3 grand. Sent him a beautiful grill from a late 30's truck. James managed to destroy the grill, plated it and shipped it back several months later. And for James that is good service.

personally i bought a tach cluster from him and before i purchased i asked if it worked on the six cylinder as well and he said yes. "Six, eight the tachs are the same. we were at a swap meet so i should have researched a little better before buying but i took his word since he was only selling 67-72 parts, i thought he knew his product.
well after finding out it would not work i tried to get ahold of him to see if i could just get a credit so i could buy some other things from him.
that didnt work he never returned email or phone calls
well i decided to sell the cluster only to have the purchaser return it because the cluster would not work, curcuitry issues.

Good to know, I was talking to him about a new fender and bumper. Deleting that now.

greasy68 · 05-26-2008, 05:30 PM

He is still hitting Austin CL pretty hard. New members beware. It must be slim pickins in Dallas for him. He has 2 different numbers. Same guy.

I used to buy alot from Kennys Trucks when they came to Baytown Tx. They are one of the reasons we are in business. I watched them grow and it gave me the inspiration to do it to. I would reccomend them in a heartbeat. Here is their website.
