Default Shoebox Ford Closing.

Just saw a notice that shoebox ford in Oklahoma is closing. Some type of internal situation but no details. Sorry to see them go as they were a great source of parts and information.

I checked their website and it's up to date and no notices posted about closing.

I think you have to be a Shoebox forum member to access what information is available so far, but the business has changed hands.... ..B.

Just talked to a guy named Ray Marler at shoeboxford.com. The home page verbage sounds like they're going out of business. Items for sale include shelves and display cases etc. However Ray said he's not closing. I asked him about Chris and he said Chris used to work for him but no longer did. I didn't pursue that any further!
Has anyone heard what happened to Chris? Is he in business under another name? Like those above, I found him to be friendly and helpful, even for used parts.

Chris is alive and well and business is thriving. Just ordered some parts from him a few days ago. Check out his new site. Great guy to deal with.
