Need parts source recommendations - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Living WAY OUT, it is100 miles to the nearest parts stores and those tiny town stores are not good with stocking or even getting old Chev and GMC parts. It takes a lot of fuel to get there and be disappointed.

I want to use a good online or telephone source with decent prices and dependable shipping/service. From time to time need everything from wheel/master cylinder rebuild kits, bearings/seals, valve cover gaskets, ignition switch, starter solenoid, brake vacuum booster, etc.

Best sources in your experience - preferably in the SW but not necessarily.
Thanks for any advice. CCCC

I have used Early Classic, Brothers, LMC, GMC Pauls, and Classic Performance. All have given great customer service. I even did a roady to Anaheim and picked up a large order from Classic Performance, gas was cheaper then and I saved a bundle in shipping costs. They had a cool store and the guys were top notch. All these places have web ordering.
