I was looking for something at Classic Haulers, Mid Fifty's sister company. Not going to a 48-52 truck parts place very often I googled their name. When I clicked on the link for Classic Haulers the Mid Fifty page kept popping up. The third time I tried an alert popped up that said, " The parts you are looking for are now located and shipped at Mid Fifty F100 parts."

What gives? Have they moved out of their Indiana facility?

 

I noticed this about a week ago. I rarely ever visited Mid-Fifty's site, and when I went to look for something on Classic Haulers site, Mid-Fifty opened. I thought I had hit the wrong saved link, and redid it with the same results.

I don't know if they've moved, but they have eliminated one URL probably to save administrative costs.

I know when I've ordered parts from CH in the past, some parts were shipped from CA and others came from MF. So, they were already linked.

I guess you could call them to see if they're still in the same place. 877-252-1948

 

I just realized it when I ordered front brake parts this weekend. They still offer a free paper catalog, so I think Ill ask for one to see if they still offer all the same F1 merchandise as before. I do most of my parts browsing late at night when they are closed thus preventing asking questions. I hope the changes were for there convenience and not for other reasons. They are a nice family to work with.

 

Well for you on the left coast it should be better as shipping will be faster from AZ as opposed to IN.

 

Ordered a bunch of stuff from them not long ago, and had some mix ups with a few items. They sorted it out no problem, but said over the phone when fixing it that MF is working the kinks out of the "classics" inventory.
Sounded like MF now has all of the parts supply, but CH still is handling the orders and questions since they know the older product.
Really wish they would update their catalogue. It's still the 2013 one, and would love a digital version I could download instead.

 

I sent Candi an email and asked if she could come here and answer the questions.

 

Mid fifty use to watch this site but I haven't seen them for a while. Would be good to know Whatz up.

 

When I called classic haulers to order a new catalog from classic haulers I was told the two company's had merged to be one

 

I ordered a catalog from classic haulers last month, and a couple weeks ago I received a mid fiftys catalog instead. it says 2016 but the paper catalog really didn't have any 48-52 f1 stuff in it.

 

this is what happened to me also and when I called they sent me to Classic haulers and that's when they told me they merged. I got one of their catalogs but it is a 2013 until they print a new one is what they told me

 

Was it mismanagement at Classic Haulers? Or is it more efficient to have everything under one roof.

I hope they keep the catalogs separate. When I look for 53-56 parts I don't like wading through other years of truck parts, like LMC.... parts for 48-66 trucks.

 

Guess we aren't ordering enough parts

 

wasn't CH kind of a spin-off from mid-50 when they started?

 

Yes, it was. I think when I called it their sister company, it really is run by Cy's sister. I don't buy from Classic Hauler so I am not positive.
