    Well that answered my question. I wasn't given a name b/c the guy couldn't remember it. Thanks for the names though I will check into which one will help me out with a radiator price.
     
  4. Turners is gone, I think, since Joe Wilson lost it.
    and Pearson's is also closed. Went up last summer and they were hauling everything out and crushing it.

    I heard the same about Turner's....after Jerry's son Jimbo was killed last year in a racing accident he has not been the same.

    Turner's was the best!! got lots of parts there in the late 70's--there was also Romo's out on the old 99 south of Shaw--also had lots of early stuff as well. Left Fresno in 79--all gone now I'm sure. Also Whittaker's in Madera was a good one.
