Hello All...I've been dealing with a lot of different Vendors out there during my 57 build, and wanted to share some experiences.
1) Truck Shop Orange Ca. Has very good prices, but I'm STILL waiting for "Very Common" parts I ordered 6 WEEKS AGO. (Loss Leaders Conveniently Not in Stock; Chrome Headlight Bezels, Wiper Bezels) They also advertised FREE shipping for orders over $250, and then claimed "oversize" on my window frames and I had to pay $36. (Box didn't look big to me.) I also had to return division bars when the chrome trim was not on them ( I asked sales rep before ordering)as expected. These people are allegedly "the source" on a lot of parts, but I won't use these people again for Anything!
2)Superior Chrome in Houston. I just got pot metal parts and division bar trim back from Bobby. Not 100% perfect, but Good, and the price was less than 1/2 of what 2 other platers quoted. Super fast service; parts were done in a week or so.
3)Classic Glass in Wa. This Guy Rocks! I got a new tinted 55-9 windshield delivered to a local depot for under $200. Bob 800-624-2130
4)Tuckers Las Vegas. Fast service, and gave me a Very Good Deal on a Hard to find chrome GMC bumper. The box was twice the size of truck shop's box, and No Oversize Shipping Charge.
5)Ecklers Fl. A bit pricey, but for me they have matched published low prices on some items. Super Fast Shipping.
6)New Old Parts on Ebay. Got a Great Deal on a 21 Circuit EZ Wiring Harness, and a Dolphin Gauge Package with billet Bezel. Fast shipping also.
7)Discount Tire Direct. Check them out online. I got a set of T/A Radials for the best price I could find Anywhere. Fast Free Shipping, AND I got a $70 Promotional Rebate!
8)American Classic. Got a very good deal on flat glass. Ships Fast.
9)Finishmaster (Nationwide Paint/body Supply). My local shop is Great! They give me Body shop prices on Paint and Materials. Plus Good Advice.
Hope this info can help someone out.
