Parts suppliers ?

[BigNate]

I've got this hunch that LMC is far from the end-all for resto parts. It's convenient but.......

So I've used Rock Auto for some stuff, and even O'Riellys, but for things like body panels, cab corners, OEM weather stripping, beltline seals, etc. where would you send a guy?

If this thread becomes a source list could we make it a sticky at the top?

IMO LMC is near the bottom of the list for restoration parts.

Dennis Carpenter
Green Sales
SMS Auto Fabrics
Macs Antique Parts
National Parts Depot

I'm sure others will add to the list.

Also, don't overlook FleaBay..yeah, some guys ask insane prices but a lot don't. Out of maybe 500+ purchases of NOS stuff there, I have had 2 issues...1 was resolved, one was not.

i have gotten a lot of things from Jeffs bronco grave yard. there are a lot of things he doesn't have but what he does seem to be a fair price

I'm in agreement with this list. There are a lot of NOS suppliers on Ebay.

Doug....what did Quad 4x4 change to?....they are also a good supplier.

 

[fatherdoug]

Oh Yeah, Duncan, I forgot about them. I posted the change in General Automotive( I think)

Quad 4X4 is now Torque King 4X4. The old website still works, but that will change at some point. I haven't made it to their new digs yet. These guys have been in business for 30+ years, and are very good.
