Which online parts house do you prefer?

I just picked up a 1971 C10 and have a laundry list of parts I need, door and window seals, dash pad, seat cover, mirrors to name a few. I've been bouncing around to the different sites but not sure which to go with. What's your experience? Is it all cheap stuff or are there quality parts out there?

I have local access to 3 different ones. I like Classic Parts best. Their prices are good & the quality is as good as any.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

Classic Industries -- Good product knowledge. Quality products

Summit Racing -- Good product knowledge and quality, quick and fast shipping. Stands behind the
products

Classic Parts of America -- Good quality, but expensive shipping. Product knowledge
could improve.


In that order

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

As of recently, I like LMC. I've had good luck with the quality of parts and their prices are good. I can pick up local, so no shipping costs for me. Classic parts are ok. Prices are a bit higher and I've had to really look over the parts for blemishes before I leave. I think most all places get their stock from a few basic sources.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

I prefer Summit Racing for most items. Free shipping over $100 is great.
Rock auto, for ACC carpet, water pumps, serpentine belts, etc
Amazon has been very useful recently.
I have also used Jegs, but you typically have to buy more to get free shipping.

I use Bowtie Truck Stop Inc. for sheet metal. They are 3 hours away from me, but twice now the owner has personally delivered my parts, so as to assure that no parts were damaged. Kevin, the owner, is a great guy, and knows these trucks very well.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

I'd say LMC Truck and Summit are my on-line go to places normally. No complaints with either.

Truckandcarshop.com

They always call me with the shipping quote and let me know if any of my ordered items are out of stock. Customer service and communication is great and the prices are fair.

I’ll second Summit racing too.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

Classic industries.
GMCPauls Truck Parts

American Auto Wiring. Real people answer the phone and never taken more than 5 min. Service is excellent.

Summit. As you get real feedback on parts they sell, sometimes even before you purchase.

I don't do Rock Auto. A power window motor didn't work the first time I tried it. Only if price is your only interest. IMHO
I have enough headaches.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

If I want original style parts, I go to GMCPauls.com. Great service and the parts are really nice.

Aftermarket, I go to Summit, Aplus Rod and Custom, or Amazon.

For standard items, either Rockauto or Amazon.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

the way I do rockauto is I get on O'Reillys website and find what I would buy in store like normal, then cross match those part numbers to rockauto. I don't do big stuff that need cores but everything else works great.

I've used summit a few times and their shipping is super fast

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

I have found that if GMCPauls has the part/s on their website...they consider it worth selling and will be the best available. If not, they don't consider it up tp their standards.
I used them almost exclusively for my 72 build. I hate sending stuff back. Even though I still had to return a few items to them, they handled it well.

Summit is great, but I find that you really need a good level of confidence that what you are ordering is what you want. This is because they sell soooo much stuff that a particular part may come in several versions and even though the application lists show that the parts fit your application, it may not be just what you are looking for. This is not their fault. Summit is a fantastic resource especially once you get into free shipping.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

I’ve had good experiences with “Car and Truck Parts”, as I like the quality of the parts they sell and their customer service is great if there is ever an issue.I’ve had the same experiences with Summit and Classic Industries
Have to give huge Kudos to GMC Paul also

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

If it's for a restoration, then I absolutely go with LMC. THey've been around decades and can supply you with everything you might need for quality OEM style parts.
For my custom '67, Performance Online and and Classicparts never did me wrong. I've spent a lot of money with both.
Summit Racing saved my ass with Hotchkiss tie rod sleeves for mismatched tie-rods. I figured out the hard way that a 72' disk conversion on a '67 8 lug means different size tie rods, normally requiring changing out all the steering components too. The people there were very knowledgable and helpful too.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

Most of my stuff has come through Wes Classic Heartbeats, but plenty from other vendors. Sometimes it depends what you're looking for. Classic parts is real good, no complaints at all, and they even sent me an extra upper radiator hose, ah thanks.

Re: Which online parts house do you prefer?

Up here in Canada, our choices might be lesser due to the cross border confusion and shipping costs. I've noted all the names in this post, and will begin contacting same, to see if crossing the border is an issue. Maybe we need to create a Canadian Parts area with links or addresses for those of us that experience weather. (LOL). I'm seen a few in my searches, but i haven't pulled out my visa for anything dramatic yet. Still tooling up and making my garage bigger. But for the ordinary guy just putting a truck back together, I hear of Rock Auto, Summit and Scott's in Alberta. No feedback on anything as yet, but i do have a catalogue from Scotts.
