Mid-Fifty RANT
I ordered a few parts from them a few days ago. I have also ordered parts from a couple different companies over a week ago. The Mid-Fifty stuff came in yesterday, and I still haven't seen the parts from other companies that I ordered over a week prior. 
Their shipping was also cheaper than all the competitors from what I could figure; and the trans crossmember was a super-nice looking tubular mount instead of the flat steel one I was originally going to buy to save some money.
They also threw in a couple free goodies, gave me a courtesy call that it was being shipped, and all for less money and quicker shipping than what I could find online.
Just cruising through their catalog and seeing the way they write, and their prices ensures I'll be shopping from them from now on.
So, the rant part is they made the other companies I bought from look silly. And they don't sell Camaro parts and 57 Chevy parts... they'd have my business with those too.

I was just wondering when I saw your thread title! I have never had anything but good experiences from MF and your right they even gave me a call to see if I needed some other stuff that goes with what I bought. I always look for the candy goodies in the bottom of the box! LOL The wife says I look just like a kid looking for the prize in the cracker Jack boxes of old! Great company, great customer service!

I read this with interest too as I've never had a problem with them. Glad you didn't either. Although my last order came without the tootsie rolls. Maybe I do have a complaint,lol

Good to know...I haven't used Mid Fifty but I'll take a look next time I need anything.
Summit made me laugh this week...I use them often. Generally, If I go on-line & order in the afternoon, they ship the same day by UPS ground from Reno & I get the parts the next day. This week I ordered 8 spark plugs for my boat...the nickel plated kind...3 were shipped from Reno and those have arrived...three are coming from Ohio and two more from Ohio on a seperate order. I'm not sure what they were thinking, but everything else has been spot on including my wheels which they had drop shipped from US Wheel.

Wilsel, did you know that Classic Haulers is owned by I think Mid-Fifty's sister.

I recently ordered from Classic Haulers, I think I talked to Candy? Very friendly lady with a nice disposition. I told her we talk highly about her here on FTE. I got the parts a day or two later. I'll be going back if I need something else.
I bypassed buying from a local guy, about 25 miles from me because I've dealt with him the past and wasn't impressed with his attitude. He has inconvenient hours so I'd either have to leave work early or have him ship the parts which would probably cost the save as from Classic Haulers.

I have not yet ordered a single item from ANY of the catalogs I have amassed, but when I am ready, Mid-Fifty will be getting the call. Their prices are on par, or better, and from what I read on here, their service is incomperable. Why give to the greedy corprate types, when I can buy from real classic truck enthusiasts and get candy to boot? lol
