I'm 60 minutes northeast if you need help. PM his name and I'll ask around. Bob

Sent you an eMail, Thanks.

Address a letter with copy of evidence to: Consumer Frauds Division, District Attorney's Office, in the county seat of his county of residence. No cost and got results with other vendors.

Bruce,Upstate NY · 08-04-2011, 07:33 PM

Send complaint and copy of evidence to Consumer Frauds Division, District Attorney's Office in the county seat of his home county. One phone call from them usually gets results or refund.

CarlG · 08-04-2011, 08:27 PM

Thanks Bruce, I'll try that.

That's too bad Carl, my transmission is in and running. Almost 700 miles and I am still speechless. All I can say is WOW! Not from Dave, and got a lot of help from Al in NY. You would have really enjoyed it.....

CarlG · 08-04-2011, 10:59 PM

Jim, sent you a PM

I feel your pain. About 2years ago helped a fellow fordbarner out in a similar situation. He bought a pair of fenders the price included shipping, the seller had no idea of the cost of shipping a pair of fenders from California back east. He got the money and spent it. When he went to ship them UPS he found out the cost was $700! I got the fenders for him boxed them up and took them to a freight company and got the price down to around $200. The buyer got his fenders but they cost him an extra $200! I'll bet the seller no longer has the money for shipping.

Oh, I know that for a fact -- last contact with him he actually admitted that he didn't have the money to ship it.

SteveB31 · 08-09-2011, 07:22 PM

He has owed me money for quite some time, and has not answered repeated requests for payment sent to him by me via Mail, and email. Good luck!!!!

If you're trying to call Calif. with this number (503-906-5626) you're using an Oregon area code. That might be part of your problem.

It's a cell phone, so no telling where it originates from, but it is listed on this web site:

Carl,
"what to do"?
If I were you, I'd get together every scrap of evidence recorded on paper in complaint form,i.e.- start at beginning: dates/times/names/ conversations/ how became involved,etc . Make an effort to determine the name/ph number/address of the district attorney incharge of the location of this guy and his clan. In other words..make it easy for the DA to follow the trail from beginning to present...every detail!
FOUR THOUSAND dollars is way above/beyond the felony limit for fraud/larceny/theft in CA.
Hey, your efforts here may also be seen/joined by others that have become victim of same mo of this guy. Sure sounds like you have been had, from your details thus far. Hope I'm wrong, but wouldn't hesitate to get going, if I were in your position

! Please keep us informed as to your progress in this matter, as that may save someone here from similar incident! Good luck...

I was interested in buying one of his transmissions. Does somebody else make the same thing?

john in illinois · 08-10-2011, 07:08 AM

Here is a list. From old FB

There are three people that I know of that sell the conversion kit using the 84-87 Ford F150 truck OD transmission. The first is Gary Bernard in Ft. Worth, TX (817)624-1441. Don't know the cost of his kit but he is the only one of the three that uses the standard Model A bellhousing. This moves the transmission farther back and requires that the frame crossmember be notched and the brake cross shaft to be modified. Ken Parker in Van, TX (903)963-1650 sells his kit for around $2500.00 and he uses the shorter AA bellhousing as does Dave Delmue in Morgan Hill, CA (408)930-4502. Dave's kit is around $3000.00. All three sell a complete bolt in kit. I feel the shorter AA bellhousing makes for a better installation and less modifications to the car itself. All three have very good reputations.....AL in NY.

Yes, but the number on the website is area code 530, which is northern Cal. 503 is Oregon. Easy to get 'em mixed up.

My mistake! Sort of like years ago when I moved from Phoenix (602) to Seattle (206). Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways. The notes I copied the # from does have the correct # on it.

Does the 530 number work then?

Yes, I've talked to Dave (jr) several times on that #, but he quit answering my calls and it goes to voicemail that he doesn't respond to.

john in illinois · 08-12-2011, 06:08 PM

Carl. Last summer I ordered a lot of 39 Lincoln brake parts and the person did not have them and put me off continually. He had charged my credit card for the order,about $3000. I called my credit card company and after some documents that proved I paid, they refunded my money. If you paid with plastic they should help.

Good luck,john
