Thay have one trick that really will get you. You call up and order a part and get a quote. When you get the item(if you get it)you will be charged whatever thay want. I have called and complained, but was told it was a price increase. Price doubled. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!!!
Are you guys talking about the place in so cal or is this a different place.The one your talking about sounds like it ****s.--TV
I really like Mac's Antique Auto Parts. bftwcs, what are the specs for your '65 F100 throttle cable? Can't you get one from NAPA, like Modernbeat suggested? Or perhaps from Lokar, without their s**** pedal. Isn't there someone else who makes a lot of various cables?
I ended up ordering a Lokar S**** Pedal, Cable, and Carb Bracket for $83 from Summit. Thats what I should have done in the first place. I did go by NAPA, but they didn't have it either. Or maybe the counterman was just too lazy to look it up in the books. He just told me that if it wasn't in the computer, they didn't have it...
Control Cables in ca. will make up about anything you want. Decent prices, great service. They advertise in some mags. Look 'em up.
I had a little different situation dealing with them. I had ordered a bunch of stuff from them which included a windshield gasket that they didnt have.Told them if they didnt have something dont back order it.Well about a six weeks later the gasket shows up on my doors step. That was about a year ago and they never did bill me for it!!!!
4inchbore, over on the RRT said he didn't have any problems with them either, you guys are definitely the minority though. I got my windshield and rear window gaskets from LMC Truck. Haven't used them yet so I don't know about quality, but they shipped them fast.I had them about 4 days after I ordered them.
Dales Manufacturing in Oklahoma City is owned by Dale who also owns Obsolete. you will do good to avoid their products on ebay.
