Guys, Has anyone here bought trans gears or other parts from Vanpelt Parts in Batavia, OHIO ? Would you do it again? Thanks for your input....tony in prescott,az

I have, and will add that there was a problem with the condition of a new part... The situation was handled in the best possible way, top marks for Van Pelt Sales... Karl

You'll have no worries dealing with Mr Van Pelt. I've done business with him from all the way down in New Zealand, and found he provides a fast, excellent service. Brian

Tony:

Not sure if you know this, but Mac actually married Shelly before she handed (or sold or whatever happens to a website) Fordbarn over to Ryan.

Top notch dude/couple and would recommend him/them 100% .

I do not think you can go wrong dealing with Mac VanPelt. His website is also one of the best I've ever seen for good info.

Ken Crans · 10-13-2010, 04:27 AM

I heard his team is good. I got a 3 speed waiting in the wings to send him for a rebuild. Ken

Mac VanPelt is a class act. No worries. Just give a call if you have any questions or concerns.

Extremely helpful-the best!

I'm in the process of studying the various valves, guides, retainer and springs used in the flatheads over the years. Placed an order for various individual parts from Mac 2 weeks ago. He gave me a call yesterday as to the status of my order. Mac is a stand-up guy and will only do you right.
