I have bought several items from him and would again.. He has always been a pleasure to deal with..

But I have to agree on some of the pricing, lately it's been a bit high..

crank pulley, belt, hoses, fluid, screws... he emailed back and said those would be sent in another package. He could of emailed that info ahead of time. The real issue here is that he sold the kit but didn't have it ready. The steering box was out getting rebuilt (he says) and was late getting it back. So he sold something he did not have available and has been sitting on my $850 for a month... I sell on Ebay myself and would never do that. I ship next day - maybe that is why I have 100% positive feedback. I emailed back asking him what feedback I should leave him - no response back...

I am posting this information for others to beware of Dan's Ford Trucks. I am sure some of you have had good experiences with him, but I did not. I purchased 2 radius arms for my 1970 F100 off of his ebay store. I emailed him 3 days later to see when they would ship because my truck was out of commission without them. He replied "They will be shipping at the end of the week. I apologize for the delay. I am out of town on a job longer than I had anticipated. Sorry, Dan", which sucked but I didn't have much of a choice. Weeks went by and no radius arms were shipped. I reached out to them several times through ebay, emails, and then through PayPal disputes. I got responses like "I will get this taken care of and get a refund sent to you. Thanks, Dan" and "I am sorry. I thought that had been done. I will get it taken care of. Dan". So as of right now my dispute window expired with PayPal because I held out hope that I would receive the radius arms or a refund based on his email responses (stupid me). I have sent a couple more emails and now I am not getting responses, probably because he knows that I can't open a dispute twice with PayPal. The goal of this posting is for Dan to see this and man up, and for fair warning to others looking to buy parts from Dan. If you do not receive you parts in a timely manner, don't wait and don't hesitate to open a dispute and make sure it gets settled. Almost $200 down the drain. I hope Dan is proud.

Dan is a disaster! My advice is stay far far away !!!!! BTW I would call him on his phone: 360 608 7835. Just keep calling non stop till he picks up.

Thank you. I sent him an email with the link to this post and asked for a refund again. Hopefully I won't have to call. If anyone needs his email addresses let me know.

I would call him. If he doesn't pick up leave messages. That is your best bet to get your parts.

If you would have opened a dispute with PayPal in the alloted time then PayPal would have shut down the account that he has linked to Ebay until the dispute is resolved.

Hey guys, I wouldn't order nothing from Dan and I caution you if you do, I order two truck doors from him he promised me rust free and workable doors it took over a month for him to ship them to me after he said the first ones he shipped got lost hmmm then when I finally recieved them they where junk rusted out in the corners and get this there where 18 mirror holes in the right door and 15 in the left door he will not answer his phone or emails or return any of my messages Im out $520.00 paypal said send them back which would cost me 300.00 in shipping not going to happen. I just thought I would let you guys know how he did me. Its funny the first night I order them he answered his phone & emails after he got his money he fell off the face of the earth stay away from ordering from him your next purchase might be like mine.
