storkmack Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 My father and myself have both had problems getting the correct items. They would send you the wrong stuff then you have to send it back. A real pain the butt. Shipping charges are a lil on the high side compared to others. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14826-iowa80com/#findComment-59556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Guess I should have stated that I was speaking of Iowa 80. I will only buy stuff from them now if I happen to be out that way, or down on the "south side" by the the Truck-o-mat. They own that place to and have chrome stuff there also. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14826-iowa80com/#findComment-59595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIREMAN Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hey allI probably get 99% of my stuff from Iowa 80. The best time to call is in the afternoon and early evening. You want to talk to Melissa. She will go out of her way to get you what you need. Tell her I told you to call. It's hard to find chrome for Macks sometimes you have to modify other pieces to get them to work. My little chrome bezels for my dash gauges were originally for a peterb#%t. With a little silicone we got it looking like a factory job. My wife calls this "thinking out of the box" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14826-iowa80com/#findComment-59626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 good selection of chrome for off breed trucks plenty of Misc items that will fit a mack. like anything in house shoping is better than over the phone.Just picked up 1/2 fenders, 7'deck plate and hangers this week. Search "Grand rock exhaust" is where I like to buy stacks. they have a online catalog Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14826-iowa80com/#findComment-59633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for all the feedback guys,I'm not looking for any thing Mack specific, just universal type stuff,I grabbed a dynaflex chrome muffler from e-bay for cheap brand new and now need a few chrome elbows and mounting clamps,went to my truck parts store and there prices are crazy and the Mack dealership is worse,I'll check out some of the places you guys recommended.Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14826-iowa80com/#findComment-59647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
