SSR Parts Exchange

Doug Allen · 07-03-2009, 03:22 PM

Recently, I have become a clearing house for donated parts. I have a barn at my office that I have most of the parts housed in.....several members have brought by and / or shipped parts to me that they did not need any longer and wished to donate them to the members that may have a need for them, but can't find and / or afford them.

What I'm saying is, most of these parts are used by others. If you have spare parts that you would wish to donate to others that need them, either PM me or post on this thread, and I'll try to get them to those that do need them. I have the ability to store them indefinitely, or you can ship directly to the members. ANY PARTS THAT ARE DONATED WILL BE FORWARDED TO THOSE FANATICS THAT NEED THEM AT NO COST, OTHER THAN ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS. You have my word on this.

The most recent exchange of parts is a donation of a complete set of OEM tires by DANDYSSR when he had a new set of tires installed - he called me and asked if somebody could use them, and I said sure, drop them off.

Another member called me a few days ago and asked if I knew where he could get a set of front tires with a few miles left on them for the season, and I said "as a matter of fact, I do". he'll pick them op from our office in a week or two....

Bottom line, if you want to help others out and don't need any or much $$$ for your parts, post them here. I'm all about helping others, as I'm sure you all are when you have the ability to do so.

If you need parts, also post here - we'll do what we can to help.

I will add the caveat that if a transaction ever occurs that comes up for resale, I WILL NOT EVER deal with that individual again and will post that transaction publicly. Enough said.

Thanks Fanatics!

I have two (2) rear fascia bumpers that have minor damage, but can be easily repaired.

OLBSSRD · 07-03-2009, 03:43 PM

I have the original 2004 air filter housing assembly from Blueeyes' R if someone needs one.

Also have the stone guards from the rear fenders, factory Aqua Blur from my 2005 that I won't be using.

Free to good homes!

Air filter housing gone!

Fender stone guards gone!

You are quite the gentleman Doug. This is an excellent idea. Good job. This thread will most certainly become very popular.

MoodyBlue · 07-03-2009, 07:10 PM

Thats a very nice gesture Doug. I have a rear Bumper Facia that may or may not be repairable. So I will let you know.

I have been locating the Original SSR Windshields, with the SSR LOGO stamped in them from the Manufacturer. I will know by next Tuesday if I have for sure located them.
I'm told that there are only 30 left in existence. When I confirm that I have found them, I will post all the Information on how to purchase them. It would be nice if we could purchase all of these Windshields for the Future needs of our Members. There will be no more Made unless they get an order of at least 500 or more.

What would be really nice is if the scavengers out there don't make a deal to buy them all up, and charge 300% + for them......and we know who those scavengers are, don't we? If you don't know who I'm talking about, just check out eBay.

Recently there was a thread about some one in michigan who had 4 hoods and 8 fenders and 8 doors , the last thing i saw was they were haggeling about $3500.00 . Does anyone know what happened to them as i would love to buy them, and if people need them i would have them on the west coast . The only problem would be getting them to Bellingham washington without the freight killing the deal
anyone know anything ????
Thanks
Chris

Last I heard the owner wanted $ 5K (ish) which is more than reasonable.....

FuryKay and I spoke about doing the deal, but shipping was the killer.....

bgetz · 07-03-2009, 08:00 PM

Doug Allen and all you other SSR Fanatics are outstanding !

Many of you recognize that some of us got caught up in this bad economy with (in my case) $600.00 a month payments on this classic hotrod. Like others we have done everything to avoid driving it back to the dealership. Almost out of the woods now and many times in the past we couldn't afford to drive it. So this is a real blessing.
In our case, we later (after the purchase) learned this truck was built on our 24th wedding aniversary. So we will do allot to repair if it gets hit.

Sure is nice to know that fellow Fanatics will help in times of true need.

I just can't believe how nice you all are!

Yes you do Jeff.

Jeff helped me make a great deal on a set of tires and wheels at a great price....

I picked them up, took them to Freeway Chevrolet and the front tires were mounted on BlueStreak's SSR the same day. He installed his spare tire kit at Mikey's house on the first leg of his retirement tour of the USA and discovered that his front tires were done.....

Thanks again Jeff! That's what this thread is all about.

By the way, that set of wheels was a near perfect set of satin OEM wheels (from memory).....I'm not sure if there is any damage, as they are still in Mikey's back yard. PM me if you need one or more OEM satin wheels, or PM Mikey regarding their condition.

I'm looking for a hitch. I think they are way over priced and not legal in the U.S. per the D.O.T. So if I find one cheap with all keys I'll buy it. Everything I've read and know about trailering is that your emergency trailer chains have to be attached to the main body of the hitch not the tongue, thus the reason for me being cheap to buy one. If I acquire one I will have different e-chains tie downs welded to the main body of the hitch were the law requires them to be....

Interesting...I wonder how GM was able to sell a vehicle that did not meet DOT requirements

Mike in AZ · 07-04-2009, 07:38 AM

Doug,

Those wheels are in fair shape with a few scratches on them. Center caps are there too. They have a set of serviceable tires mounted on them. The rears came off of BlueStreak's and have a little (5,000-8,000 miles) tread left. The fronts came off my truck and have about 15,000 miles of tread left.

There is also a serviceable front tire (unmounted) that has some wear on the inner rib, but not really bad. It was the good front tire that came off BlueStreak's truck.

I'll be transferring this stock to your barn when I get home from Washington in a week.

Regards buddy.

Well being the tongue was made in Germany by Otis it's probably legal in Europe but you know GM, maybe that's why the truck came with the hitch and not the tongue at first sale.....

It's probably in all the legal fine print....

That question was always on my mind, why did all the trucks come with the hitch but not the tongue????

ssimpalaa · 07-06-2009, 10:21 AM

i was just wondering if you ever come a cross just the hardware for the bed rails,and if you do could you send them my way,or let me if any one has a set for sale,thanks Dan.

I've got one new one. Not really interested in selling it, but I'd be glad to loan it to you indefinitely.

I'll never use it, but it's nice to have one.

ssimpalaa · 07-06-2009, 03:19 PM

thank you for getting back with me,just let me know if you can re create it, or if you want to loan it out,thanks Dan.
