Go the classifieds section on here and open your wallet.

Also several of the vendors on here sell parts, plus lmc truck, and many others.

lmc does carry lots of parts but be careful on what you get from there. i would stay away from body panels and rubber parts. but the catalog is a great referance guide. other places like Brothers and classic industries, and gmc pauls all sell tons of parts for these.

Ditto fxdxharley. LMC parts are from China.

Almost everything is anymore.

I personally am not happy with my first interaction with gmcpauls.

I went with WES at Classic Heartbeat. WWW.ClassicHeartbeat.com Bought all my body parts from him and am very happy with the service and prices.

I've had great luck with http://www.manestruckparts.com, seems a little more "mom and pop" if you know what i mean, very personal service. One of my big rebuild orders, they actually called me to walk through a few parts, clarifying what I had ordered. Turned out I had a few of the items incorrect. LMC in my opinion would have just shipped what I ordered, then I would have had to deal with RMA/Return/Shipping $. LMC is good, better selection, I've used them both......a lot.

Welcome, check out http://www.truckandcarshop.com/ I usually try to make a trip there once a year because its nice to be able to order parts in person and the store is pretty cool. I know thats not possible for most of you guys, but they usually offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount. Good luck.

I stop in occasionally but truck shops prices are usually better and have free shipping. Stan is always really cool when I do go in. Its a good spot to pick up original stuff.
