    I need to get some things and don't want to end up waiting 3 months for one reason or another. What places have you guys had good luck with?

    Jim Carters, at oldchevytrucks.com has everything you need, AND top-notch service! I've been using them for years.

    Also, for NOS and rare parts, get with a good friend of mine, Joe Mendola, at mothertruckeraz@aol.com

    Joe can also be found on oldgmctrucks.com as a moderator.

    All are good. I have used each one. It seems that each one have certain parts that only they carry. Also, Brothers is pretty good too! There's also Chev's of the 40's. Also, what are you looking for? I have some new items that I bought years ago and most likely will not use.

    You must realize that for any given part there may be only one manufacturing source which distributes to and through all the other retail outlets. So outages for any given part may be industry wide for some items.

    Cool, looks like most if not all have a good rep. I need simple stuff like some widow regulators without stripped handle nubs, a p***enger side window, interior handles and things like that.

    Chevy Duty is now Cl***ic Parts of America, and is good. LMC is good. Jim Carter is probably my favorite. All are in the Kansas City area, but ship everywhere. Good luck.
     
  12. I'll take a good used one over a new re-pop anything, anyday.

    I like LMC Truck best, I've always been happy with their service. Some of the others has left me unhappy in the past.

    It also depends what you are looking for. The prices can vary between the vendors. I'm shopping for gl*** for mine now and LMC beats everyone else but they seem higher on other things.
