1968 C20 parts and best vendors
I recently bought a 68 C20 and I'm fixing minor stuff like radio speaker, heater controls, window seals. I am looking for opinions on who the better parts suppliers are and also who to stay away from. Thanks

Re: 1968 C20 parts and best vendors
I like Summit Racing. I ordered a bunch of parts including a dash pad from Summit and a dash pad from LMC on a Thursday and had the parts on Saturday from Summit. I didn't get the parts from LMC until Tuesday! I live in Colorado. LMC shipped from Kansas which is 586 miles away and Summits parts came from Ohio which is 1370 miles away. It makes no sense why LMC took 3 days longer to get my parts to me and charges for shipping, while Shipping is FREE from Summit on orders over $99!

Re: 1968 C20 parts and best vendors
Board vendors are your best bet. Good luck - restoring a C20 isn't as easy as a C10, there just aren't the parts available. Worse than the lack of parts are parts listed as fitting that simply don't fit 3/4 or 1T.
Don't forget RockAuto for mechanical stuff, far cheaper and often better quality (if you buy new AC Delco, etc) than the restoration houses.
