Where can I find Parts Dealers???

I'm not knocking any of the current suppliers I have but I need some better quality parts than the China stuff I've been getting. Do yall know anybody? I need leads on everything from felts and seals to locks and latches to panels.

You've been around here for 4 years or so. You should be able to find the info you want in many places on the forum if you do a little searching.

Re: Where can I find Parts Dealers???

There are very few reproduction parts for these trucks that aren't made in China. There is a seller on ebay that has some USA made patch panels for our trucks, but they are much more money than the typical made in China parts. And not all the same parts are available.

Heh, the Asian rubber returns to the earth after a few months in the sun down here, doesn't it?
Try Steele Rubber. You can google it... Well, I did and it's easier to just guess and enter steelerubber.com
US made patch panels are from what I've found a myth.
The last lock set I bought looked fine, but the type on the labels looked like the usual Asian stuff.

Re: Where can I find Parts Dealers???

Ok we have been over this more times than I can count. Please do not answer folks with use search. Its not something we condone, and if everyone used search and didnt bother posting, we would have no new posts.. We are a community. We are here to help each other out.


Try starting here Vendor Marketplace
Then scroll through Current Site Vendors

If you dont get your answers there, feel free to post your question again. I am sure folks would be more than happy to give you ideas
