Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
I dealt with this guy a year ago. My 1st several purchases through his Ebay store using Paypal were satisfactory. He delivered what he promised in a reasonable time frame.
Then...... I called him and ordered a complete emergency brake setup for my 69 SWB fleetside (The PO had ditched everything). After explaining that I needed (and I quote) "everything in the E-brake system between my left foot and the cables that attach to the backing plates", James said "I know just what you need". We agreed on a reasonable price and I paid him via an itemized Paypal invoice. What he sent me was a bunch of brackets and hooks but no E-brake foot assembly. I called him directly and complained. He sent another delivery after a week or so, which also contained the wrong parts. Finally, after a third phone call to express my disappointment over his carelessness, he got belligerant. I escalated by posting bad ebay feedback plus I sent copies of my documentation to Ebay/Paypal. I called an alternate supplier in the Carolinas. With a single phone call, He sent me exactly the part I needed in less than a week. I swore to myself I'd never use James's products or services again. The posts above and his banning from this website don't surprise me at all. Maybe he should move to Mexico.

He's OK if you want chrome plated RUST! Looks OK at first then after a year in dry storage the TRUTH comes out in visable pitting! Stay away good members!

Bought clear lenses from him took 23 days to get them. I had to turn him in to paypal and e-bay. Gave him a negative on e-bay so he gave me one said I was an a_ _ then e-mailed me to see if I wanted to buy something else. But lo and behold he`s back on e-bay with that cheesy chrome.

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
He was at a local swap meet today, A couple guys were looking at his guage set ups, he walked 10' away for just a second to grab a part. I told them the quick and ugly about him. When he walked back over they were gone. I hung around a little while and when he gave a price to someone I would butt in and ask questions about different repop companies, some good some not so good...after a while he asked if I was gonna buy anything? I said no, read too much bad stuff about ya. I have just been here telling customers you sell junk on ebay and the swap meets every time you turn your back. He got a puzzled look on his face and I smiled and walked away.
 Here's to u Mr. B!

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
this guy is bad news. tried to burn me several times on ebay. also burned me on other parts but it wasn't much so then again a year later i went and purchased a glove box from him. took a month to get a damn cardboard glove box that don't have no weight. finely got it and it was the wrong one. Contacted him and he cussed me out. said he didn't want to do business with me ever again. and wanted me to pay to ship it back to him. i told him no and then a month later i got the right product. i never did ship the glove box back to him as it was only a $8.00 part and i shouldn't have to pay to ship something back after he had already burnt me of other products.

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
Is this guy doing business as Lone Star Classic Truck Parts now? I found some parts on the Austin Craigslist and it had this link. Its a shop in Lone Oak, TX. The web page has a different phone number than the one listed in this thread.

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
Well, well, well...lookey who's back on eBay! "tristartrailers" is his new id. Verified it was him by his trailer listing..."FOR CAR HAULER CALL JAMES 903-268-2439 OR 903-662-5199".
Here are just some of his listings: 250236321315 250237141221 250237143271 250237143837 Looks like everything listed is new (at the moment). Just giving y'all a head's up!

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
he's been getting flagged to death on dallas.craiglist.org for his truck parts posts. Also, I sent an email about a crossmember (73-87) and he was WAY high on that.
Glad I finally found the truth. James Blanton, eh? I'll see him at a swap meet soon, I'm sure -- though not Pate, going to miss it this year

What sort of stuff do you list? 'cause if it looks 'commercial', you'll not be viewed kindly.

Re: ATTENTION: In regards to James Blanton aka "tex parts 67-72" and Partner.
I listed a nice DS fender and door off a '71. It was just a basic ad, not commercial looking at all. I put it on there about 4X and it didn't last half a day!
