Speaking Of Hard To Get Parts....

In another thread, we're discussing how tough it is to find parts. I ordered a Cold Case Radiator back on August 16th. Placed the order with Summit after I called Cold Case and they said it was about $100 cheaper through Summit. So hell yeah that's what I did. This is for Mr. Buddy's 65 Chevy truck I just built the 283 for. The 6 cylinder radiator, while enough to start the engine and do the break in, isn't enough to actually drive the truck. A couple of weeks before I placed the order, I send Cold Case a message here on the forum asking about a forum discount and about ordering from them. Crickets. ....and as of now I've still heard not one thing. So the original ship date for the radiator (not in stock at Summit) was August 26th. Then it got pushed back to September 26th. So today I called Cold Case and asked them if they sold radiators. lol I explained the deal and was told that this production line would ship the end of this week. I guess I just wish people wouldn't sell something they didn't have on the shelf. I understand Summit not having it. They caint stock everything. But you'd think a company like Cold Case would have a Chevy truck radiator on the shelf. Would have also been nice of the Cold Case rep here to return my message. Summit offered earlier this week either a refund or to wait it out. I chose to wait, but if it has not shipped by September 16th and gets pushed back again, Cold Case is going to lose a sale. I gotta cool 80 year old friend ready to drive his cool old truck.
