I ordered a few things from there. Took them a few weeks to send out the items, dunno if they was busy or something I ordered wasn't in there storage. All in all was a good experience.

I ordered some front end parts for my '70. I was converting to '71 front disc brakes. It took them 3 attempts to get me the correct parts. They have no clue about 67-72 chevy front end parts! Each time I had to pay again, including shipping. They paid one return fee, but have not yet refunded my money for the incorrect parts. I called the other day to check on it and was on hold, the guy came on the phone and asked if he could call me right back, then he went home. I'm out $150.00 and not to happy with CPP.

I ordered their c-notch kit; it fit horribly. Supposed to "bolt in"...and it did, after I had to modify it with a BFH and the hot wrench. The driver's side notch was waaay off. What should have taken a day to install, wound up taking 3 days.
I'll never order anything from CPP again.

I ordered my front end rebuild kit from CPP. Got the parts I needed, in a timely manner, no problems. Sorry to hear others have had trouble with them.

I have ordered from them w/ no problems.

I've ordered from them for both my old 1955 F100 and current 1971 C10. Each experience has been very good with no parts problems, quick shipping and good customer service. I'd order from them again without any hesitation.

Thanks guys for your input...appreciate it. I am considering ordering a original rebuilt Auto-Tilt column from them. Yes it's on the expensive side, but it's been fully rebuilt and painted and it is a "bolt- in" deal. I've got so much work to do on this truck, that sometimes it's nice to buy something that just bolts right in. Still thinking on it.

Alex,
Check stock on it first. We had to drop the rebuilt factory columns because there are fewer good cores to locate and rebuild. The last one I sold it took 3 or 4 months to get, then we quit offering them.

I ordered a complete kit from CPP. The guy I talked to knew everything about these trucks, and even knew everything that was included in their kits, down to the last bolt. My order took about a week to ship, but I had upgraded the rotors and they probably had to machine them out. I would definitely order from them again.

Update, they issued a credit for the wrong parts today. 3 months late. Today is a good day, I am finished with CPP at last! Yipee!
