Being from Indiana you could talk to Candie at Classic Haulers, Classic Haulers F-1 Parts - Home ,and get around some if not all the shipping cost by picking it up at there shop. As was said before Mid Fifty and Classic Haulers are sister (pun intended) companies. They are in Franklin Indiana.

being at the extreme northern end of Indiana, and having a 56, I just assumed that I would have to pay the full shipping from Cali to my door... but I will check into the possibility of that.

I too, have never had a problem with Mid-Fifty. They are helpful and courteous....which is what customer service is SUPPOSED to be about. They call when the items are shipped and are good quality when I receive them. Sure wish other companies would learn a lesson from them.
And yes....sitting in the garage chewing on a Tootsie Roll while working on my pickup is like......like heaven!!!

A large amount of my truck was built through MF.they are always helpful,always polite and quite frankly know these trucks. I always get fast service from them. Can't say enough good things about the girls and all the quality parts and service. If ya have a question they can usually supply ya with an answer. The toostie rolls are a bonus too! Sy is more than helpful and always backs her stuff 100 percent.

I opened this thread expecting to have to set someone straight about Mid-Fifty but I see it really isn't needed.
Dealt with them for a while now and I only look elsewhere when they don't HAVE the item I need... but I always call and ask to be sure, first.

I live 5 miles from Classic Auto Parts (formerly Obsolete Ford) in OKC and I still order from Mid 50. They even give you extra tootsie rools if you ask for them. They come in a bag with the label "TOOTSIE" "extra tootsie rools" and the bag has a bar code on it!
I gotta hand it to them. Babes that know trucks and even pander to our sweet tooth is marketing genius!!
