How much $ were they? If it was a Grayson type deal, I say fawk it, drill and be done. If not, go beat his ass. It won't fix anything, but you will definitely feel better.

Wow, that's pretty ****ty. If you paypal'd him, file a complaint.
You can't sell that kind of stuff and not mention that the passenger arm is beyond useable.
Unfortunately not a grayson deal. I paid $150 for the arms, and they're $199 new. I paid by cashier's check. I quit using paypal a while back when they're rules started changing and the number of people being screwed kept rising. I haven't heard back from him yet, he hasn't been online since friday.

If this guy never gets back to you, I'm sure Marlin will sell you just a passenger arm so you're not completely fecked.
Did he misrepresent the product, or just leave out those key details?
He never stated their condition, I guess I was too trusting this time. Normally I ask for pics, but I guess I didn't give it enough consideration and just ASSumed there's not too many ways to damage a steering arm.

That's bull**** though. Those things are not worth $150 in their condition, probably closer to $50 for the driver's arm. At best, you're probably out what he paid for shipping and the cost of shipping back to him, if he'll take them back.
Yeah, I'd say call the guy out on it and see if he'll make right on it.
Ok, just got a message from the guy. He says that he was unaware of the wallowed out hole when he pulled them off. He's been around for a long time on Mud, and he's offered to send the money back, so I think he's being honest. I'll have to research my options a bit more when I get back from Utah.

Good to know he's making things right, but how do you not notice that?
maybe pulled them off on an axle he bough

Ok, it's been two months, time for an update.
Neighbors came over today and we put the body back on the frame. I built some sawhorses to put the frame on, then we set the body down. I'm going to chop the rear and make a pickup cab. Also planning on cleaning up the firewall...will probably have to do a little floorboard work as well.
This is the section I'm planning on removing
The tailgates should line up about with the top of the step in the rear floorboard. Just in front of that I plan on recessing the fuel cell into the floor. Not sure what I am going to do with the floor. I've had some thoughts about trying to drill the spot welds out and sell the sheet metal to some cruiser junkie...but it's probably not worth the time.
