    I'm in desperate need of a part at a yard there, and they won't ship it. Its for an off topic vehicle, but it would help me out enormously. I just need someone to pick up the part, throw it in a heavy duty box and ship it to me. I will of course pay for the part, the shipping and your time. Hit me up with a PM if you can help. Thanks, Matt

    No. No. No. guys...it's that time of the year for Good Will and Cheer.

    Give the guy a SMALL lump of coal for his troubles. Maybe a snow shovel with a broken handle, to help him out a little for his generous helping another H.A.M.B'er.:D

    Thanks for the offer dirtbag, but thats a pretty good haul for you. If your going that way any way that would be great, but otherwise I'll try to figure out another way. I'm going to try and give the owner a sob story, and get him to ship it, but it would be nice to have another option.

    If you can get it anywhere near Sioux Falls, I can get it from there to Hankinson. No charge even!!!!
     
  17. My guess is that PRICH (sp?) thinks Carroll is a chick who lives in Iowa and he's hoping for some "action" in exchange for a helping out. Could be wrong though.

    If You don`t have any luck in the next few days. PM me. I`m a hundred miles to the south. A locoal here has a delivery route up there. Delivers welding supplies. I can ask him if you get no answer. Did some oddball work for him in the past. His brother is my backdoor neighbor. It better not be a part for your Honda. Hows that for the HAMB spirit.

    Let me know if dirtbag13 ends up going to Carroll for you. I can drive up to his place and go over to Carroll with him. I don't get over to Brock's near enough and can use the excuse to visit hs shop.

    if you can get the guy to put it in a box , you can arrange for UPS or Fedex to pick it up.

    $100 reward to whoever can pick it up and get it in a box up to NoDak! I'll even settle for prich! The yard is adament about not shipping it. I can donate it to Ryan on your behalf(if you feel bad about taking my money)or paypal it to you for extra christmas $$. Would really like to be able to drive my truck!

    I have a friend in Carroll, he runs / owns the Napa store ..
    Larry Demers , he is about as nice of a person that the lord has placed on this earth

    He drag races , builds hi-perf engine, tractor pullers, etc
    Now, saying that I'm not sure if he has the time or maybe he has a parts runner that could / would do it

    But, knowing Larry , he would do anything to help someone out

    Try him, he works in the machine shop all day so you will have to see if you can get him on the phone

  28. If nothing else pans out so far contact me. I have a salesman that goes to Carroll every Wednesday and a route truck that goes there every Friday. With those 2 it shouldn't be a problem to pick it up. After that we could get it shipped to you.
    prich - What a douch!!

    If I could get a relay to souix falls or the cities would be great.

    Oliver Bros.- Might have to take you up on that. I'll call them tomorrow, and make sure its ok to pay for it over the phone, and have someone else pick it up. They seem pretty convinced that I'm going to buy this and stick it right in my truck, and then bitch because it doesn't work, so I want to make sure everything is a go, before I tie any one up.
     
  30. Just let me know! I can even get it to Sioux City, Iowa if that will help ya. We go there almost everyday.

    Have you checked on another website called www.car-parts.com it is a very good site for looking up almost any parts. Check it out before commiting to buying from them.
