Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
I've personally had good luck with Counterparts, although I've only used a few of them on my truck and a 55 Chevy car. But a good vendor like GMC Pauls or H&H Classic Parts will typically stock only parts that fit and work.
Several years ago H&H stopped stocking some parts (maybe window regulators?) because they were Chinese junk. The owner Herman said he'd rather lose a sale than make a customer unhappy. A real class act! I think it was a South Korean company that finally started making nice ones.
