Okay!
Got the address FINALLY!!! :lol:
Have to sell a few things for a few extra fuel $$ to get me to the first drop off, then get some stuff loaded up.
I should be hauling down the road by Wednesday.

Still got a shti ton of smaller parts to get out to customers by then, too.

Good stuff Mark.

I'm working on a backup plan for you for those seats just in case you can't get ahold of the woman. I'm not 100% confident in her taking care of things for me. I'm working on getting you 1 or 2 cell numbers just in case. It would be so much easier if I were stateside.

Eric,
Actually, I have a deal worked out to transport a dually rear end to Boerne, so I'll be rolling down I-35 near your home town on the way there.

Hey Mark
Well, I guess that works out even better. I live about 30 mins off 35 so if you want I can pitch you a few more bucks for fuel. I'll give you my sister's address and if she's not home for some reason you can leave everything by the front door and I'll have her move them into the garage. That's where all the parts are for my truck anyway.


Thanks a lot!
Chris

91strokersmoker, ( Chris )

I copied your sisters address and phone number and pm'ed it to Mark. I then deleted it from the thread. Makes me nervous to have a girls address and phone number out in the open. Cheers.

WTH? I guess I had the pm window and this one opened at the same time and typed it in the wrong box. OOOPSIES.... I should really pay more attention sometimes. Thanks Richie.

Got the information on the delivery address, guys.
It's now part of my drop-off sheet.

Chris,
Dropping off the parts at your place just seems a bit easier than chasing around the Dallas area. ;)
And since I'm going to be right by there, better 1 less handler.

Mark.

That's what I figured. A lot less of a hassle for you and a lot less of a headache and worry for me, plus I'll be able to put them in as soon as I get home. All my parts & goodies have been sent to her house anyway so it's better that everything is in one place.

Mark,
Kristin let me know you dropped off the seats and all was well. I'm glad we finally got it worked out. Pleasure doing business with you and hopefully it will be a lot easier next time when I'm not stuck on the other side of the globe.

Yeah, pretty nice gal, your sis is. 8)

I did leave and extra passenger's side base with the hydraulic support cylinder, latch plate and a good front hinge on it, because those are all missing on the one on the seat.
The base is there, just nothing else was.

Just got in and have a lot of messages to return.

Mark.

She better be...I've been doing her enough favors lately. Way to hook a guy up. I'll be home Sunday or Monday so I'll be putting them in next week.

I love the state of texas, mom and dad lived in palo pinto county for many years, that said, pray for dry roads while there, them folks is crazy when you get a little ice or snow on the roads, no clue. We have a few of those types here also but not en mass.
93 w250 6 speed 4" exhaust, caution, work truck, she's no beauty. building 1 ton dually 4x4, dana 80, 48rh, 205 Scratch the one ton, bought frt. dually 4x4 98 12 valve with the tiny rear doors. rides so much better than the 93.

Texas is high on my list of places to relocate to, if I could.
Also considered Nevada and Arizona, though AZ is pretty stringent on vehicles, in general.
Colorado appeals to me, somewhat, too.

I really like California, with it's variety of landscape and varying weather, but government-wise, they go out of the way to be a pain to their own tax payers and vehicles in general, out there.
The PEOPLE are generally decent to deal with, even when you CAN'T understand them, sometimes.
