Re: parts supply

it really depends...

I always check the site supporters first (brothers, GMC Pauls, Mar-K, etc).

Re: parts supply

ther are may vendors on this site who have outstanding customer service, are extremely knowledgable and who usually will give board members a discount of around 10 to 15%
There is a vendor list on the board somewhere

Re: parts supply

My preferance is GMCPauls. The service is excellent, the parts are quality and the prices are fair. They are/will be my first place to check and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. The vendors on this board seem to actually care about their customers and should always be looked at first.
just my $.02

Re: parts supply

I prefer GMCPaul's and Early Classic Enterprises myself... I had a small issue with GMCPauls, he was very sincere about his apology, and assured me it wouldn't happen again, I will buy my stuff from him from then on, my Chassis stuff I get from ECE.
Although everybodies gotta have a LMC book, it's very helpful for looking at, I just don't buy from them, well maybe a t-shirt I think... everything else I look for used on the board parts section...

Re: parts supply

You're in Oklahoma? I use Kennys trucks in Tulsa. Kenny McLennahan. I've been buying from him for 13 years. Good guy, goes to all the swap meets too.

All great. I've met Kenny and Tim and both are excellent people and truck nuts. I've only talked on the phone with Wes, GMC Paul (and his folks), but they are also great folks.

Re: parts supply

I've used LMC, GMCPauls, and Manes truck parts. If you're buying on the internet, buy from another state so you don't pay state sales tax. I actually had a real good experience with Manes, I forgot that since they were in Missouri I had to pay sales tax and I was using a gift certificate. I just ordered up to the amount of the certificate, and they forgave the state sales tax as a "christmas gift". I thought that was awesome and will use them again. I'm usually broke though so I shop around a lot for parts and calculate shipping charges in there too so I get the best price. All in all, I've had good experiences with everyone I've ordered parts from.

I buy from Classic Chev of OKC only when I don't want to pay shipping on a large item. I am getting ready to buy a bunch of patch panels from Wes at Classic Heartbeat for my K5.

Re: parts supply

I like to deal with Atheys Truck Parts. Bill is out of Front Royal, Va. a 45 minute drive if I need something and he is a hell of a nice guy. Good prices and great service. He knows these trucks inside and out.

Re: parts supply

I go to swap meets to save $$$$$$$$$$ on parts and shipping. You can usually save 10-15% on the parts and of course, all the shipping costs.

I've purchased from

GMCPauls
Brothers
Christian's Classics
Classic Heartbeat

All offer good service.

Re: parts supply

With a place locally you can save a bunch on shipping, especially the large or heavy stuff. I won't buy from LMC, simply because you can't talk to someone who knows what the parts are for. I prefer buying from someone who actually uses the parts.

Re: parts supply

Aside from site supporters I order suspension from ECE and any misc. stuff from either Classic Parts of America or Kenny's. I can usually get stuff from them in 2-3 days because of location.
