Best Repro Vendors?
 

I posed the same question in the wrong spot earlier (sorry, Mods). Still getting used to this site.

Who's the best vendor in terms of quality and customer service?

For my Chevelle, I use NPD, Summit, and eBay used.

I'm not sure who's the best for these trucks.

I have a bunch of work to do on my dad's Gentleman Jim. Thanks

I have friends that give huge praise to AMD Metal for their resto projects.

None of the vendors make anything. This is something to try to understand. They sell parts from Asia and there are few makers of parts. Many of the parts aren't of a quality one might hope. These are facts of life.
Board recognized ones are typically better to deal with.
Beyond that getting the best price, shipping, return policies and tax are determining factors.

AMD parts are licensed by the various auto manufacturers, I've seen the difference between China junk and AMD products, AMD is top shelf. As for square bodies, the General Motors Restoration Parts Program, has approved AMD parts.

I agree with you on the others though. I've bought panels from various vendors, most all of them were from "Key Parts".

Yeah, I totally recognize that dealing with repro Chevelle parts.

But some vendors do take greater care in selecting their suppliers. National Parts Depot is an example. They are generally recognized in the Chevelle community as providing better parts (and customer service).

I was reading on here about "GMCPauls" and "Classic Heartbeat." I just ordered rear bumper brackets and gravel guards from GMC Pauls, because I couldn't find used originals on the eBay.
