I already have a sizable order compiled from classic parts and I wouldn't have to pay for shipping. I think they are the same price, but is it the same thing being offered by Patrick's? | | |

Use the search feature if you haven't already and I'm pretty sure that is what you'll find.
FWIW..I'm a big big fan of Patrick Dykes and he is a BIG supporter of Inliners as am I. Few people offer all he has and know as much about your old truck as Patrick. So I say buy from him but of course it is your money. | | |

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

I'm glad to have an opportunity to endorse his business as the technical assistance after the sale was the best. Regards, Bug

Since you like to save on shipping maybe add a dual intake, fentons, monoleafs, Wayne set, hei, roller bearings, or any number of other goodies in his catalog to your order when you talk to him.
