Re: So WHERE is you Favorite Place to Order Quality Parts

I like this thread. I am constantly looking for a good supplier for these parts and usually find people that don't know what they are doing,selling, or how to treat a customer.

I personally have ordered from:

Brothers, = Good Product,
1st time. lost my 1 pc window order twice. When it finally arrived it was great.
2nd time. Got all the marker lights, and other parts pretty quickly and prices were pretty good.

CPP. Just ordered some power steering stage 1 kit last Monday. They didn't know much about it. So, I'm hoping that it fits at described.

Summit. Seems to be pretty good. No issues; pretty good prices.(know what you want when you call though)

Jegs: Same as ordering from Summit so far.

Zigs Street Rods. (Used to work there) Previous owner was rude to customers.(thats why I quit)
New owner isn't much better in person. They are terrible about customer service but sell great stuff at great prices. ( I try everything I can to get it somewhere else for same stuff and prices) However looks I'm getting ready to spend another 3500 with them.

Carolina Classic Trucks. Great customer service, great product, never messed up 1 of my 3 orders through them. Even called me back when they found out they could get product not shown in their catalog (160mph mechanical speedo they only showed the 200mph one)
Even with shipping across the country their prices were right in line if not better then alot of the other places I have shopped.

No Limit Engineering: Rude on the phone, wouldn't let me talk to a mechanic or someone who had installed their dash panels. It says on their 67-72 dash panels they will fit Chevy but WILL NOT FIT GMC.(This is true in a 55-59 for sure) I called them and tried to find out why. They said if thats what it says in the catalog then thats what it means. I tried to explain I have built many of these trucks and to my knowledge the dash is the same from one to the other, could you find anyone there that could tell me what there is that keeps it from fitting in a GMC? She then said "IT WONT FIT" and hung up on me. Since they had what I wanted I actually still ordered it through Carolina Classic Trucks and even got it cheaper. I needed Power Steering Stuff No Limit sells.. I refuse to order or call them again after that issue.. Inexcusable in my opinion. If you don't know just say so or find out. What do you think they would say now if I call them and said I put it in a GMC without issues? personally I don't care. I hope they loose more business over that chick that answered the phone.


Anyway.. Thats all i can think of.. I have used all of these places in the past year on 55-59 parts as well as 67-72 parts.
