Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
I'd like to add a comment. I'd gotten a horn button retainer from classic parts out of Kansas City along with a lot of other items as part of a restoration of my 52 Chevy Pickup. I opened the horn button retainer about 8 to 10 weeks after I received my order. The horn button retainer had a broken clip. This happens. Classic Parts told me they basically have a 30 warranty and I was basically SOL. I called Counterpart Automotive in California and they honored their part and sent me a new one that next afternoon.

Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
Reviving this post after receiving something from Vintage Air that was a white labeled part from Counterpart.
The product is very nice, but wasn't expecting this. Last edited by C10forDad; Yesterday at 03:18 PM. |

Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?
I use the Counterpart ignition switch & tumbler on a 56 pickup I was working on.
I got it all installed & realized you can turn the switch on, off & start with any thing. Screwdriver, any key, or coin. The key would come out with the switch on or off. I took it back to the store & they started bringing out some others from stock just like it. We tried them all & it was the same thing. This was a few years ago so they have probably corrected it by now. George |

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”. |

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.
