Anyone know if shoes from the 50's are compatible? We used to have a local place that would re-line shoes, but now they require customers to bring their own material and rivets.
Thanks for your ideas in advance,
Tom

I was told they did the shoes there but on calling them found they send them to the main branch. Hope to pick them up Monday if my back haul takes me by their shop. I have been told Fleetpride can do or get them done. If the front shoes need doing I may give them a call as they have a branch much closer to me. I do not know if Associated truck parts or Fleetpride are national or regional chains. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 | Thank you kb3csw.
