Parts Catalogs
Who makes parts catalogs for the 60-66 trucks? When we bought my sons' Pontiac Lemans, we found out who the "players" were and got most of their catalogs and now I would like to do the same for my truck...

Re: Parts Catalogs
I have never heard of any of these, but I am new to the trucks..Used to dealing with Ames, OPGI, Year One....I don't think they deal with trucks, just GTO, Chevelle and those types..Thanks.

Re: Parts Catalogs
Many of the parts are from the same overseas supplier. having said that the prices from THe Truck and Car Shop (TCS) beat many of not all of the others. Example I had to place a large order for parts. I campared apples to apples and saved $245 by using TCS over the others.
HOWEVER, THE ONLY PLACE TO GET STUFF FOR YOUR BED IS MAR-K. They really know they Sh*t. As far as replacement panels go DO NOT GET AFTERMARKET INER FENDERS they don't fit worth a crap. find used oem. Jake

Re: Parts Catalogs
Here are a few links that may help in obtaining catalogs easier:
I buy from ClassicParts for almost everything that is specific to the 60-66 trucks. I've never had a problem or disappointment with anything I've purchased from them. They used to be called Chevy Duty which made it very easy to remember their name, but the GM lawyers made them change it. There are just too many vendors now with the word classic in their title, so anytime I want to look them up I just Google Chevy Duty and it still takes you to the correct supplier site: http://www.classicparts.com/default....FcMbQgodCU83MA Years ago I had good luck with American Classic Truck Parts but they instituted a minimum order policy which deterred any further small purchases. Their quality, pricing, and customer service was always excellent however: http://www.americanclassic.com/ I've only bought two items from LMC (the clear dome light lens, and molded exterior mirror gaskets - because they make both items). Those two purchases were a good experience for me, but many others have complained about very poor customer support: http://www.lmctruck.com/chevrolet/ Beyond that LMC and Brothers are just so much more expensive than ClassicParts I can't afford the luxury of dealing with them. http://www.brotherstrucks.com/ I also use to deal with Golden State Pickup Parts years ago, but haven’t really heard anything about them in almost 15 years, so I don’t know how they are to buy from now: http://www.gspp.com/ Year One has listings for 67-87 Chevy trucks, but from what I’ve seen their pricing is up there with Brother’s. https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/View/18 I'd suggest getting copies of all their catalogs and compare prices (or make lists and compare online), then check the Review Board Forum for opinions of which vendors provide the most problems. Either just read the posts, or do a search for the supplier you're interested in: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...splay.php?f=26

Re: Parts Catalogs
When your comparing prices be sure and factor in the Shipping and Handling plus return policy!! I've had real good luck with Lmc and Classic Chevy but I could have just been lucky
