Which vendor has the best price on SM420 rebuild kits? Are all the kits created equal?

Thanks Red58. Depending on what you are buying the kits may all fit the application, but not all are created equal as far as quality and durability. One example are the suspension kits you can buy are not all created equal. One vendor may supply tie-rods and idler arms from China and another vendor may provide Moog suspension parts (The difference in these parts are easy to see and feel). My point is that price is not always the only comparrison one should make when buying things of this nature.

I ordered the SM420 tranny rebuild kit from Novak today as a x-mas present for my 54 GMC. I will try and post the details of the rebuild when I get into it in the near future.
