I believe that Ecklers or Mac's also owned a wholesale house that was the distributor for their parts. Wonder what has happened to it?

C&G Ford Parts does overseas shipments but I don't know how well that works for our South Pacific friends. I've had fairly good service from them here. 3rd Gen is a good outfit as well.

I agree. Third Generation is a great source and a wonderful guy to talk to.

The best thing about Macs/Ecklers was when they used original part number in the catalog

Odd thing, since the sale of Macs/Ecklers became known, I have been receiving rather frequent aggressive email offerings from Macs. When a sale item is "clicked" on it either "ships directly from manufacturer" or "out of stock". It's like their promoting stuff they don't have, but then why promote?

Shoebox,
Your email address is in their database. Their computers are programmed to ping you regardless of whether they have product in stock or not. Very poor marketing doctrine. |
