    Just want to take a minute here to heap praise on "Speedway Motors". I ordered a set of SW "Wings" series gauges last night for my Diamond T, and tonight they were setting on my doorstep. They're BEAUTIFUL! I got a 6 gauge set, electronic, to duplicate a "deluxe" Diamond T dash panel I'm making for myb truck. They're just perfect for what I want to do. Good thing, 'cause I sold the original gauges to pay for 'em...

    Too often I read about guys bashing "big" companies, but I have to say everything I've gotten from Speedway has been exactly as I expected, and on my doorstep super fast. This is amazing though!

    I had an issue with some ARP bolts I had ordered. The set was shorted by about half. Customer service was outstanding and quick to Fedex another set overnight. There is a lot of talk about offshore suppliers and such, but on the whole, Speedway has performed pretty well for me over the last 18 years. More thanks than spanks.

    Add another happy customer. I have used Speedway for a LONG time and have never had a problem with parts, accessories, delivery or customer service. And I have built a LOT of hot rods in over fifty years.

    My biggest purchase from them was their 9" posi third member ($750). It has a whine. When I talked to them, they sent me a gallon of synthetic oil. I told them (Brian) it helped but still whined. He said he would consult the builders but I never heard from him again.

    Bought a Posies front spring for my 29 RPU yesterday afternoon and voila the man in brown had it to me by 11:00 a.m.

    It is now lovingly hung in the garage with a couple of coats of satin black rustoleum on it.

    I was going to buy the Mr. Roadster spring but I think it is hecho in china so I bought the Posies.

    My dad ordered a steering box and pitman arm for our gasser last night. He asked about a dropped arm since they weren't in the catalog...the sales rep said "we just got those in". They were the same price as the straight and all parts were at his house today.

    My dad has called them for tech questions in the past, and they had been quite helpful and forthcoming with the information.

    I'm glad you got great service from Speedway. They're always right on with my orders as well. You'll find that the SW gauges are crap, but you cant blame Speedway for that.
    Stewart Warner sucks shit.
