Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
As 70cst says, it’s hit or miss with the “Counterparts” line.
Unfortunately, all the Repop parts are made outside the US, so the quality is lacking, at best. I like to use Car and Truck shop because their customer service is phenomenal. When I lived in SC, I made about three trips a year to the shop in Concorde NC, and they never questioned whenever I found defective parts. I’ve also had a few parts that I mail ordered, and after a phone all, I had a replacement on the way and was told “just keep the other one”. |

Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
The few repro parts I have used on my 1970 Blazer resurrection have been Counterpart. Overall, no issues with fit, finish or function. I do strive to use GM parts, but sometimes that is not economically feasible or possible at all.
