well after hearing some much about jim carter, i'll have to give it a try, they are about 45 minutes from me, i've never delt with them, chevy duty is closer. i live in about the prefect area for restoring a truck for three reasons
1. Chevy Duty is 15 minutes north of me
2. LMC Truck is 20 minutes south of me
3. Jim Carter is 45 minutes east of me
+ i'm about 10 mminutes form a FLAPS

I have never had to pay shipping on any truck parts
