Best Replacement Parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4eye4valve · 11-20-2013, 02:46 PM

Like the title says, Im looking for the best quality, best fitting replacement parts to use during a rebuild.
Im getting ready to order all the parts to rebuild my doors, regulators, glass, vent windows, everything.
I just want to make sure I stay away from the poor quality bad fitting stuff if possible.
Thanks in advance..

from Iowa. My daughter lives in Spring.

I would order from one of the vendors that frequent this board. The nice thing about most of them is that they work on these trucks so they know what fits and what doesn't. That does not guarantee that some aftermarket parts will not need slight modification to fit correctly. It is a crap shoot at best...

Thanks,
Ive been trying to read as many build threads as possible to see what issues if any, were faced by the builder.
I currently live in Katy.

Also type the words "aftermarket parts" into the Google search box at the top of this page, click the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com", and click on the "Google" button. The search results will cover all years so careful on that...

When needed, Outback parts is between Spring and The Woodlands.

4eye4valve · 11-20-2013, 08:17 PM

Im not familiar with that company. Is it a store, wrecking yard?
Thanks.

Bigdav160 · 11-20-2013, 10:52 PM

A little of both. It's full blown 67-72 truck parts store with a few trucks/Suburban/Blazers that they part out.

4eye4valve · 11-20-2013, 11:17 PM

Thanks!! I had no idea there was a 67-72 place close to home.

I appreciate the heads up Bigdav160

On a side note, I just realized I posted this in the blazer/suburban forum.
My apologies, I should have posted in the truck forum.
