Where do you like to buy your parts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

repeeler · 09-12-2010, 08:16 PM

There are a lot of different NOS and REPRO parts sources out there for the 1967-72 trucks. Where do you like to buy your parts and why?

Sinister · 09-12-2010, 08:19 PM

I like Classic Heartbeat or Classic Parts.

hayhauler71 · 09-12-2010, 08:50 PM

c@c pick up parts SD.

AusTx68 · 09-12-2010, 08:57 PM

I think over the past two years I've purchased at least one thing from every vendor available!

Seriously, I hit them all looking for the best qualtiy product for the best price.

gixxerpymp · 09-12-2010, 09:27 PM

I've had good luck with Mikes bump & grind.

The best place, by far, is the parts forum if you plan ahead.
After that, forum vendors.
Dead last is LMC.

Mad Rods · 09-13-2010, 02:12 PM

Yep... I ordered a bunch of supports/patches and they forgot one. I emailed them that day and no questions asked had it on it's way.

Great service IMO.

Shyguy · 09-13-2010, 05:13 PM

The last stuff I bought was from "The Truck Shop". I try to buy as much as I can locally at one of the box auto parts stores.

Before that I bought a bunch of sheet metal from S&S Classics (Smitty's). He went out of business about a year ago.

treveiger · 09-13-2010, 05:28 PM

Buy from one of the vendors on this board, i bought from maines and had nothing but luck, quick shipping and a lot of help on finding what i needed.

Jwill41 · 09-13-2010, 08:47 PM

O'Reilleys for most mechanical stuff because it is convenient and GMCPauls for other stuff because of fast shipping and good quality.

fastom · 09-13-2010, 09:04 PM

X2 for Early Classic, best customer service anywhere!!!

jsbgump · 09-13-2010, 11:36 PM

I've bought from kenney's trucks in oklahoma, classic parts of america and now from Classic Industries and really like all 3

LostMy65 · 10-25-2010, 08:29 PM

I'm having a miserable time finding an online site to purchase a new ignition switch with new keys, and dashboard connection nut.

Any suggestions?
