Good place to check up on service and quality issues:
Review Board @ 67-72 site. There is a lot of mechanical and electrical stuff in the NAPA system for old cars and trucks. With their latest site redesign, it is even easier to look a lot of it up yourself.
It is all about finding someone there who will take the time to look it up for you.
If you can find a local parts store, they might try a little harder to find it.
I've found a lot of different mechanical parts in the various big chain warehouse systems for my '65 c10 over the last 8 years.
American Classic does pay the bandwidth fee for the 'bolt here... and their parts are as good as the other vendors... cuz they get 'em from the same places. They don't seem real comfortable with the internet tho', so if you order from them and there is some issue with your order, get with them on the phone as quickly as possible.
Personally I've ordered from:
American Classic
GMC Pauls
Tuckers
LMC Truck - the parts were fine, their customer service is lacking in my opinion.
Jim Carter's - who has a new website that I can't seem to find anything on. They are known for very good customer service tho' here on the bolt. They have a lot of used/nos parts and they also reproduce some quirky hard to find parts for a lot of the older trucks.
My father buys a lot of things from Classic Parts of America(formerly known as Chevy Duty)... and I have bought a few parts from them and several reprints of various old chevy truck literature.
