Re: aftermarket parts
Truck Shop has great stuff for the most part. But since you live on the east coast, shipping will suck. look into the vendors here on the board. They are a LOT more knowledgable than the big companies out there.

Re: aftermarket parts
I have purchased from Bowtiebits three times & all were great transactions.

Re: aftermarket parts
Both our suppliers for body parts and interior parts are in the east half of the country. We could drop ship to save shipping costs for you.

Re: aftermarket parts
I've bought quite a lot from the Truck Shop over the years. I think if you spend more than $250 it's free shipping......They also come to the "Truck Nationals" at Carlisle, Pa. in the 1st week of August.

Re: aftermarket parts
The truck shop from Cali are a good group of guys at Carlisle show but they only carry small interior parts or large shhetmetal (good for no shipping prices) but I have heard that their customer service over the phone in cali isn't that good.
I'd go with a board vendor, as stated.. there are to many to name. You should make a trip up to the Carlisle,PA spring,truck and fall show though... lot of stuff and some with our truck parts.. BTW, a lot of sheetmetal parts are made by the same companies, just sold through different vendors. not all are though...

Re: aftermarket parts
Well if you are willing and can drive to Bristol, TN or Maggie Valley, NC you
could pick it all up in person from Tim @ www.christiansclassics.com  (He has a toll free #, gives board discounts, and he lives in the NE tip of TN)
