Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
^ x2 i like classic parts. I usually keep catalogs from all of them and compare. I would definately do so with a 3k order. I find most of the time classic parts to have the best combonation of price/quality. Though thier inventory is not as broad as LMC.

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
one more reason I order ClassicParts over Brothers on larger orders... sales tax. Brothers is in Cali, thats like 9% sales tax of an order on top of everything. in Texas you wont have that problem with either, as ClassicParts is in Kansas City...

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
I have purchased parts from Classic but the bulk of my orders are from truckandcarshop.com. I have never had an issue with them and @ $350 no shipping charges for normal items. I ordered a grill from brothers on Black Friday with a price of $60 off original but the shipping ended up being $58. I have not purchased any LMC products since the price is normally higher on all items.
Good luck.... |

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
Caddie
My '48 sat for 38 years before we found it. It did turn over. Oiled down the cylinders with marvel Mystery oil, let it soak for 2 weeks, installed new carb and points, new battery, and it FIRED RIGHT UP! Drove it all last year and ran well. I just couldn't believe it. Keep your fingers crossed. Nice project! |

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
Can anyone tell me which hood emblem is correct for a '54?
I've seen both on 54's. Is #1 a V8 only emblem? My dad's truck looks like it had #2 emblem on it before. #1  #2

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!

Re: Hello - New Member - 1st post!!
I've looked on several different parts sites and I'm confused...
Brothers only offers the gasket for the '54 emblem  LMC only offers a 47-53,55,56,57 emblems  Classic Parts only offers 47-53 emblems  Truck and Car Shop offers a 54, but i called and they said they were out of stock and couldn't get anymore.  So I'm 100% confused. Looks like I may have to put the 53 on it..
