The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk vendor question

Anyone use classicparts.com? Please share good/ or not so good experiences. They have a real purty catalogue I know. Anything else? Thanks,

Hank

They are among the best in selection, price, and customer service. They have just about the best shipping charges.

Thanks Tim, they are the only ones to have the rubber kit to rebuild the rear tranny mount where it meets the torque tube. It is like $7 versus other vendors who want $52 for the entire mount. Just put the 235 into the truck and that mount is not looking to great so I am gonna fix that now before I button up all the mechanical.

I have had very good luck with Classic Parts. Just be aware, you usually get what you pay for. The trans mount repair kit for $7 is just some rubber and a couple of bolts. The more expensive mounts have the rubber bonded to the steel pieces. The cheap repair kit isn't going to provide much cushioning effect at all. On the other hand many people say you don't need the mount at all. I choose the cheap repair route myself.

Thanks Chuck, after using the new front and side mounts on the bellhousing during the install, that mount just did not look as good as when I pulled the 216 out some months ago. The metal piece of my mount are fine, so the kit is the way to fly, you are right, just two pieces of rubber.

Great service, good quality, ship fast.
