Re: Local to you Parts Suppliers
When I had a 69 C10 and a 55 Chevy sedan, I always had good luck with H&H Classic Parts in Arkansas, which is a small family run business. http://www.hhclassic.com
Had a couple experiences with them that really impressed me: First, they stopped carrying window regulators for 55-57 cars for a while because they couldn't find any that were well-made. (While other vendors kept shipping the bad ones.) Also, when I placed an on-line order for a bunch of parts for a 69 C10 and one part for a 66 C10, the owner's son called me to confirm I didn't accidentally order the 66 part.
Also, Kenny's Trucks in Oklahoma is a good to deal with, and UPS Ground shipment takes only 1 day to most places in Texas. In my experience, he carries only best-in-class parts. My 69 (now my son's) has a 16-17 year old rear bumper I got from Kenny that still has zero rust peaking through. http://www.kennystrucks.com/
