ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
 

I have banned James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" after many unsavory dealings, and violations of board rules. He was selling as a dealer without paying proper advertising fees etc. He is claiming to switch ISPs and come back, and also get other board members to post parts for him. Take this warning, ANY member caught selling parts for him, will be banned permanently, immediately. If any of you see him, registered, or posting selling parts on this board, please let me know ASAP.

Everything I have heard about this guy is bad news.

Thanks Josh!!!!!!!!:D We do not need misrepresentation on this board, Your doing great! Randy:D

My thanks too, Josh. This is the best board on the net and we are glad to see you keep it that way!

Jim

just like Primer67 took my $200 .. never heard from him again ..

rip off
 

That dude ripped me off on Ebay. I was foolish enough to send feedback before closely looking at the parts. I only lost $30 though. Lesson learned.

LT

Thanx Josh, this guy ripped me off on e-bay too. This guy is a class act, snake in the grass. You are doing a great job Josh. Thanx again Dana

sums
 

This is one of his responses to negative feedback on ebay -
Response by truckparts67_72 - CUSTOMER RECIEVED WHEEL WELL IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH .THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
That about sums it up!

:bowtie:

THANKS JOSH ..... ONE LESS RIPOFF ARTIST WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.:D :D :D JOHN

I have been keeping my mouth shut for months now on this issue but due to the recent sticky note, I want to share something. Do a search on sliciknsmooth72 and smooth72 and YOU WILL SEE that this person seems to be using the same phone number. I called smooth72 awhile back about some doors that he was selling and he said his name was James,but I never bought them because he would never send me pics. Then a couple months went by and I was going to buy a cab from slicknsmooth72 and quess what NO pics again, then I realized the voice sounded the same as smooth72 and so I asked what his name was, quess what, this guys name was James again. So I then did a search on the two names and found out that the phone numbers were the same. After getting a little pissed I confronted him about being smooth72 and slicknsmooth72 and asing if his name was James B. he hung up the phone. OH btw, he said he was never a board member before when I was talking to him as slicknsmooth72. You be the judge.

Just sharing some info.

tex parts
 

This guy is a real character. Been there, done that. He gives these trucks a bad name. Luckily, after threatening him (I know, not real good, but he had me pissed), I managed to get most of the damage re-imbursed. Stay far, far away..............

I'm a little ignorant on this one.....but is this the guy that sells all the chrome stuff on ebay where your money is sent to some place like.....Lone Oak, TX ???

Bowtiefreak- Slicknsmooth also posted a link to one of his ebay auctions last week, same guy.

Josh,
Thanks for the update info

Yes.

when i was at his place i was in his office. i saw all his chrome and he said he had tons of parts waiting to goto the chrome shop. hell he could probably build a chrome truck. all the chrome looked bad.

Dinnut, was that in Lone Oak?

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ON THIS GUY , BUT I COUGHT ONTO HIM A LONG TIME AGO. I SELL ALOT OF PARTS ON EBAY AND I WANT YALL TO KNOW MY EBAY HANDLE IS (DAWGFAN227) NOT THAT I AM TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING AT ALL FROM YALL, BUT I JUST JOINED THE BOARD ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AND WANTED MY NAME TO REPRESENT MY TRUCK. I TRY TO BE VERY HONEST ABOUT EVERYTHING I SELL AND IF SOME ONE IS NOT HAPPY I GLADLY WILL GIVE A REFUND. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR OR JUST HONEST BECAUSE I HAVE 270 TRANSACTIONS AND 100% POS. FEED BACK. BUT GETTING BACK TO TRUCK PARTS I HAVE PONDERED BUYING FROM HIM ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND LOOKED AT HIS FEEDBACK AND IT IS VERY SAID TO SAY THE LEAST AND FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL LOOK AT SOME OF HIS STUFF JUST TO SEE WHO HE IS SHAFTING.
PT'S 70 CST AKA EBAY DAWGFAN227
I AM GLAD THAT I HAVE FOUND THIS SITE IT HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME
AND IF I CAN HELP ANYONE OF YOU MEMBERS IN ANY WAY DON'T HESITAE TO ASK ME. AND THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YALLS VALUBLE INFO

PAUL TIMMERMAN

I was reading another link to this page and somebody stated that "they were afraid to buy anything coming from Texas for fear that it could be this guy". After reading all the nightmare statements about this guy, and I have seen him on e-bay and steared clear because of his negative feedback, I also am weary of purchasing from a Texas vendor. I definately pay attention as to what area the person is selling parts out of.
Anybody can change their handle name if they get a bad enough reputation. So bang up job there Slicknsmooth or whatever your name is at this moment for ruining it for all those honest sellers from Texas.
Some people just have no shame about ripping people off. From what I've read this guy also has the brass ones to get irate with customers that call him to question him about the crap that they have received.
Lying to customers about the product you are selling and taking their money is the same as stealing. So get a conscience and change your ways but it's probably too late for that as it appears your reputation, if you ever had one, is badly tarnished.

only two words for this kind of person: SLIME BALL!

Glad to see the board working as it should. Thanks, Josh.

thanks
 

Isure enjoy looking at all the stuff you boys are putting on the site,ive been looking for some time .i havnt had any dealing with this guy ,but have had good ones with every one else, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP 714X4LOVER:bowtie: :burnout:

yeah what about us honest texas guys? :D people just ignore this guy and a certain chrome shop in lone oak lol

Hopefully.....this puke DOESNT represent Texas!!! 99.9%
of us are OK.....

Everyone else I've dealt with in Texas has been great except him.!

Thanks Josh for the sticky.

James got some money from me back in March, and I never recieved the parts, I would have been happy to at least recieved something, I'm glad he's gone. Maybe we could send this to Ebay to let them know what a weasel he is.

Hey if this guys from tx i ran in to him in Arlinton TX and bought a chrome glove box door for $15 I didn't trust him then but the price was right. he also told me he was on Ebay as Truckparts67-72 and dose the white face guages now i know THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!!

i bought a 700r4 from him. i went out to his place in lone oak tx and looked at his chrome stuff too. needless to say the 700 was the only part i brought home with me. good thing i new what to look for in a 700. his chrome parts are old parts he pulls from the junk trucks and sends toa chrome shop. he doesn't even try to fix them or clean them up before chroming.

TEXAS
 

I'm from Texas and don't like guys like that putting out bad impressions so I want to take the time to say that all members from Texas are not like that,I have dealt with nightmare,smonty,and superchevy from this board and have met them in person and must say they are some of the nicest people I've come across in my short time here on this board. So thats it IMO.:D

I guess I have been very fortunate. I have bought many parts from truckparts67_72 on ebay and have been very pleased. I recommend using pay pal so you can dispute the credit card charge if you are not satisfied. All in all I guess I dont agree, or I have been lucky.

Re: TEXAS
 

i agree!
one day next summer us houstonians (and outlying areas, such as spring :D ) should have a gettogether

Eric, we already know about you. (j/k) :D :lol:

lol

That sounds a little fishy to me,maybe Josh will check it out.

yeah,i bought a grill from the guy at a swap meet in Greenville last year....he told me on the phone and through email that the grille had already been polished and cleaned and all that and looked like a brand new one....needless to say when i got there i saw it wasnt what he said it was,he dropped the price WAY down,and i bought it....was also supposed to be getting this "in great shape" upper trim for a longbed...wasnt any better than the junk i took off...im sure i wont ever buy from him again....i too saw his chrome collection at the meet and i wouldnt have bought any of it for a DAILY driver

atleast you guys have not had to have a swap meet booth next to him, that guy is so annoying and he would not leave me the f### alone, this was before i knew all this info to and when he was starting to get into trouble on the board, i think i actually did more buisness than he did

you talk about annoying,you are soooooo right....he was so da** annoying just to be around for the 15 minutes i was...and all he did the entire time was gripe and complain about this board and how this place was less than 10% of his actual business....i wanted to say "ok dude,i dont care...shut the f**k up"

What comes around goes around..... Just ask the inmates that I baby sit for everyday....

I haven't been on the board in .. several months .. and when I left this guy was just starting to show his true colors.. I am happy to know we have a webmaster stepping up to keep everything / everybody fair :) Good job.

How can somebody like this be in buisness? If this were in my town this dude would be blacklisted period
