So Cal Parts Shops?

Hey guys,

I'm moving to Southern California, and am looking for some good parts shops for our trucks. Do you guys have any good places you like to go for NOS stuff, parts, performance pieces, etc? I'm really looking forward to more availability. I'll be in the Long Beach area...

Thanks!

Will all the stuff being crushed for scrap these days its hard to find GM parts.
As far as aftermarket/perfomance I just mailorder anymore.

Where do you live on the central coast? I lived in Nipomo for 24 years.

Good luck on you move and your parts quest!!!!

Irwindale is not too far from Long Beach and Alpha steet is junk yard row. That's one thing I miss about So Cal all the damn junk yards. The local junk yard here is picked clean.

I've lived in AG for the last six years and worked at Cal Poly... but got a better paying, more stable job. Nipomo is pretty - you won't believe how much they have built in the last few years.


The Truck Shop? What's that? Sounds like a cool toy store...

Hey Im stationed at Ft Irwin, but I know they have about 3-4 junk yards in the high desert area. Its approximately 1.5-2 hrs from Long Beach. But they have a ALOT of GM trucks to rip from.

Like stated above BROTHERS. Tim,Jamie and all those guys over there are a great bunch to deal with. Also dont forget about Pomona Swap Meet on Oct 19,2008 at the LA fairgrounds. And then theres LongBeach HighPerformance swap meet at Veterans Stadium. Good Luck and welcome to SoCAL!

Grande Rojo. Nipomo, CA! Home of the famous Jocko's Steakhouse!!!! Bedsides the fact Pismo is shrinking by the day, why would you ever move away? Kixwy2, welcome to SoCal. For used or NOS parts you might want to also try the Long Beach High Performance Swap Meet. It is like Pomona but without all the filler & trinkets. Here is a link for dates. https://toppingevents.com/ecology_meet.asp
