I have delt with Fred for years, starting in the 80s and he has been especially helpful for those parts that are hard to come by today.

Fred is the best. Glad to hear he getting better. i didn't know he wasn't well. Met him at Hershey years ago when he personally delivered some bearings. If Fred has it, he usually sends it me with a bill for the agreed upon price and shipping and I send him a check. I hope to see him a Hershey this year, god willing. That's 2 beers for Fred.

I received some NOS brake rods from Fred yesterday. Great service, as ususal. Most of the time there is no need for anyone to to air their "dirty laundry" or perceived dissatisfaction publicly. This should be a last resort after every other attempt has been made to resolve a situation amicably. Such is the new world, fed largely by the ease of using social media and no repercussion of most anything expressed.

Been there... done that too! I think Fred said way back when he found them he got a bundle of about 500 and that bundle has shrunk quite a bit. Fred is a stand up guy and very helpful. I wish I could tour or see his warehouse as he always has what I ask for and offers great advice.

Uncle buck ......Copy and paste this into your browser. Click on the map that comes-up. Click on "Aerial View". You'll at least see that Fred is way out in the boonies, with several buildings. Copy and paste from below. DD
