Default Re: Joblot Automotive Going Out Of Business

Reading this old thread, I noticed an old reply that says we had purchased the business. I’m sure that everyone knows that we did not do this. However, we and various other vendors did buy a significant amount of the Joblot stock, mostly at very reasonable cost. In our case, it was primarily transmission parts. So MUCH of the stock stayed in the market and was simply relocated to other vendors like us. Going on almost ten years later, most of the hot selling parts have been sold but we still have a lot of various NOS transmission goodies still available.

Mac, do you sell gears and bearings/seals for the Ford steering box like my '48. Mine needs rebuilding.

Your Welcome Dale.
Heck I just received a package from James today great stuff a USA production king pin set as well as new Best brand gasket items as well. When I call him its just like the Joblot days ask if he has a part and he's right at the spot looking to see what he has.
That's exactly what he always would do when we called him in the days of Joblot. Always amazed me knowing how big that old place was James told me a long time ago the phone cord was very long!

That's great. I'm imagining the phone cord being 100 ft long and the coils covered in old grease that it collected as it was drug down the isles.

Yes, we sell individual parts for them as well as rebuild kits. We also stock the replacement steering worms and the sector rollers.
