East End K5 · 03-01-2005, 09:17 PM

I stumbled onto this website, has anybody used them and are they reputable? Prices look decent.

silvertonguedevil · 03-01-2005, 09:32 PM

Never heard of 'em

**Ironhorse** · 03-01-2005, 09:56 PM

I have bought a few small items from them, side marker gaskets, fromt turn signal lenses, some rubber gasket items and such. Think they are out of Kansas City area. Have seen them at our once a year swap meet in Wichita. Seem all right but never bought any large items so not much help there, sorry. Their booth has lotsa' stuff, just never bought much from them at the time.

kingsolver72 · 03-01-2005, 10:08 PM

Yes,Manes truck is located in K.C.Mo(Raytown).I purchased a front bumper from them at a swapmeet in K.C.,Tripple nickel or something like that,last summer.I think I paid $90 for it and their catalog(10 pages) list them for $120.They are cool people to do business with.They do have fair prices.I believe them to be a reputable company.

kingsolver72 · 03-01-2005, 10:40 PM

This is the front page of the 10 page catalog I have.I think I should clean my scanner.Their # is 816-358-6745 if you can't read it on the page.They may send you one if you ask for one.I am thinking about putting mine on e-bay,..just kidding.

BLAZERMAN · 03-01-2005, 10:52 PM

I've bought from them before, great people to do business with. They have alot of used parts also, if you can ever get by there shop it's worth the trip.

Green Machine · 03-01-2005, 10:54 PM

Yes, very happy with them. Have made several order over last year. Pair of rear arms, dash pad, several smaller items. Bought pair of front inner fenders. They were able to ship them UPS , others wanted truck freight. Easy and pleasant to work with.

hexafamily · 03-01-2005, 11:26 PM

Great people to deal with. Their shop is just down the road from me and it is a great place to visit. They have a farm outside of town with several trucks as well. I have purchased several things from them including my engine.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-01-2005, 11:55 PM

I have only good things to say about Ron. He has helped us out with my projects and has always treated my dad and I right. Like the others that have seen his shop, they know he tears down trucks in the basement and has a lot of used parts. Definately worth calling if needing a used part, or even a new one. Most of his prices aren't jacked up, and are competable with others. Trevor

ZOOMY · 03-02-2005, 12:31 AM

I bought a set of door panels from them. They told me they were good & when they arrived they were excellent.

*Don Loverink* · 03-02-2005, 02:39 AM

Ive bought stuff from Ron at Manes, great guy, he knows a lot about factory cruise controls and he rebuilds tilt columns too, great parts, great prices, in Kansas City.

**Joesjunk** · 03-02-2005, 04:02 AM

Ron is a good friend of mine. He is great to deal with. Manes truck parts is a business run by him and his wife. We just went to teeitup's last weekend and bought a bunch of stuff.

**72ironmike** · 03-02-2005, 07:27 AM

I agree with Joe. I have dealt with Ron for 25 years. He is one of the most knowledgeable people about these trucks.

jgvallie · 03-02-2005, 08:57 AM

hey ,i have bought parts , they shipped fast and packed good! happy with there service!

cdowns · 03-02-2005, 09:02 AM

i just noticed your signature, was just out in riverhead last month where are you at??

smbrouss70 · 03-02-2005, 10:40 AM

I've bought from them a few times, nothing big, but Ron is a super nice guy and always helped me out whenever he could. I would definately recommend them.

rambler · 03-02-2005, 11:25 AM

I"ve bought from them as well, just a few parts, its just enjoyable to stop by and talk with him. He doenst care if your truck is just a work truck or one in progress or a show truck, he'll recommend the part you need, either new or used, and I like going there better than Chevy Duty, as its more like a local buddy to deal with then a department store. great guy! If I can, I'll buy from him, and Randy (teeitup),now just have to find the time and the $$$ to get mine back on the road!

cadiac · 03-02-2005, 08:18 PM

I've bought from/talked with them at swap meets, -they were OK .They have been around some years.

griesel72 · 03-03-2005, 09:53 AM

I agree with the above posts, Ron and his wife are good people, i really like his used part selection, if you need a hard to find used part, he has got it. I know back in 2000, he had a guy that worked for him almost full time tearing down trucks in the basement garage. I usually try to make it over there at least 2 times a year, but be prepared to spend a couple of hours (i always do)

Jason915 · 03-03-2005, 05:25 PM

I just ordered a fleetside rear bumper kit from them, they had the best deal and not outragious shipping charges, I also just ordered some used tailgate hardware. They seem to be a good company to do business with and I will defenatley be giving them more business while I am working on my project. I am glad this thread was started

Jeremy_5 · 03-03-2005, 05:43 PM

Wow I just looked over their website, they have a good selection of parts and an easy to navigate site. They will be getting some of my business soon.

teeitup · 03-05-2005, 12:49 AM

ALL I CAN SAY IS RON IS GREAT TO DEAL WITH!!! I can't tell you how much I've dealt with him and never had a bad dealing with him. He's bought a BUNCH of stuff from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we do alot of trading too!!!

East End K5 · 03-08-2005, 09:51 AM

GREAT! I shall use his company to buy my parts from...thank you all.
