The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Where do you get your new parts?

I am looking for some feedback regarding some of the companies that offer parts for our trucks. I have a 63 C10 and getting ready to order some items like rear drop springs, front spindles, disc brakes, bushings etc. The companies I look at most of the time are LCM and Early Classic. Let me know what companies you have had good or bad experiences with. Thanks

look in the links

I still like the truck shop in Orange, Ca and Tuckers out of las Vegas.

So far. I've only ordered parts from Chevy Duty (American Classics, now) and Jim Carter Trucks, and I've got no complaints. Others have reported disatisfaction with Chevy Duty, though.

I have also used Classic parts(ne Chevy Duty) for 5+ years,,no complaints-I have also had good luck w/American Classic,,brian

I think all of the vendors will get complaints of service now and then, but most are reasonable. My experience is that Jim Carter ships everything for the exact shipping costs, but will ship stuff at different times and charge you several times for shipping instead of all at once. You may be able to request that they hold until all items are available for one shipment.

LMC has always been quick to get the parts to me.

Classic Parts I have no memorable thought on one way or the other.

One of the truck freak members here in the forum does classic truck parts too. I ordered a windshield and had it shipped to an address in Texas. He called back to check on the order and made sure that it was delivered in good shape. Outstanding customer service. Who the heck was that?

if you're looking for bed parts, look at Mar-K. they've got a lot of quality stuff and most people i've talked to say it's the best.

Bowtie Bits in Wichita KS very helpful and they sell new and used and full of helpful info and not to mention they are local to me saves on shipping.

I've always been well served by LMC Truck.

I've had some poor service from ChevyDuty, and changing their name didn't make it any more likely I'll ever order from them again.

i order most of my parts from brothers trucks. just ordered from the truck and car shop, i have not receive them yet but there is another post on this. Ron

Hi All,
I thought I would weigh in on this, I have had the little odd problem with all vendors. How ever the single vendor I would NOT deal with again is heavy chevy. The first order I placed was for a u-joint and seals. I got the u-joint but had to place the charge for the seals that I never got into dispute with the credit card company. The second order I placed took better than two weeks to arrive. That after I tried contacting Dennis Almond the owner by email, and phone. I left a vmail message, and a email after 10 days saying cancel my order. After another few days and 18 calls to his automated vmail box (which was always full) here comes the order. only 2 of the four items I ordered. I would caution against ordering from him.

I think you could have trouble with any of them. It's when they won't fix a problem or insist that I caused the problem that I quit using them.

Have used American Classic (which sponsors this site), Classic parts, Napa, Advance Auto, Kanter Auto products, and local parts jobbers. no problems so far

I have ordered from LMC several times and have always been pleased with their products and with how fast they shipped my orders.
