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.

I 3rd Mikes Bump and Grind. Customer service is top notch.

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!!!

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.

After that, forum vendors.
Dead last is LMC.

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

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?

I buy from Truck Shop if I want good customer service, from Brothers if I want to wait for a back-order, from Lutty's if I want a good price, and from LMC if I need it shipped quickly but can take less quality. Also from Rock Auto when they carry what I need.
