USA Parts Order - 3935 Flat Bed Tractor Trailer

[Bill Blackhurst]

You may want to recheck your pin part number. The flatbed pin number should be #30216720, not #30213720 from what I have seen. They may have that number  .

I will double check that Pin number and surfing the inventory site I found that there is another wheel version as well - all red not white but I am not that concerned. 

I will see what my call this afternoon reaps and keep everyone posted. 

Thanks for everyone's input.

DS in the UK are excellent, ordered some parts on the 8th September and they arrived on the 15th. How is that for service?

It appears the US DS is only open 9am - 2pm so my order will have to wait until next week....... sadly....

That's great turn round, Walt.  I emailed in an order on the 16th at 11.35 and had the quote back by 12.45.  If the rest of the processing is as fast I should have my order well before we leave for Malta next month.

UK citizens are very fortunate to have the excellent service UK DS provides! Here in the USA, I've had past orders take 2-3 weeks & even longer to be received, then there were cancellations, missing pieces, wrong items, & the list goes on !

Anyone have any advice on dealing with Canadian DS? I put in an order back in august for some car parts and klickies and they had to order some the parts form Germany. I told them to ship it all to me together when its ready since the parts i really wanted were the ones in Germany.

Today I bought sunset express truck 3817 at a thrift store for $1.50 it's missing covers for the container at the top and the cab's roof etc. I'm contemplating crossing my fingers and putting in an order but I'd guess it might be too old of a set.

Any idea if the "Pin for swiveling truck flatbed" is the same for all trucks 30 09 109 ? someone's used woodglue for a makeshift pin with a piece of wood. How I'll get that out is another story

The circular covers for the top of the container are still available from UK DS, although they are in silver now instead of black.  (They and the opening mechanism for the rear doors come together.)  If Canada DS cannot get you them, I have a spare set in silver if I can find it.

Thanks for the offer. I'll send in an order to DS and let you know if I need  them,
