One store to fulfill an order. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

With my body now starting paint and my frame stripped and headed to get powdered, it's now time to buy all of the remaining parts for my 70. Is there one store that you'd use to buy all of the repop items like window seals, arm rests, lenses, etc? I have about $1500-$2000 remaining, I believe. So far I like SOKY and MotorcityK5. Are there any others that I should look into? Btw, I'm in TN, so that may effect where I purchase from.

Might be good to make a list and then put the stuff in your cart at a few spots to see how the numbers line up.

Shipping is usually the variable as most places have the same parts (from the same vendors).

Summit and Jeg's have free shipping if you hit a certain amount - including some big stuff that would normally ship freight.

Exactly. It seems whatever you need most is going to be out of stock. The supply chain is very broken right now.

Thanks for the responses. I think I can get most of the stuff from two or three places.

I've had pretty good luck with SOKY, GMC Paul, and Mane's Truck Parts, as mentioned trying to find parts in stock right now is a challenge.
I have also bought from LMC with a fair degree of luck with the quality.

I forgot about GMC Paul. I hope to have this thing crashing some Bronco gatherings soon
