I want to know who has the best parts for the money? I do not mind spending a few extra bucks if the part are nice. I am getting ready to purchase new mirrors in and out and new wiring harness for front parking lights and wanted to know who is best place to buy from as i want very good quality.

I used American auto wire and really like the quality of the kit and the customer service is top notch. . Mirrors I cannot help you with, run a cheap peep and a rear view . Would toss the peep if I could get away with it.

Classic Parts of America, Tim Tygerts Obsolete Chevy Parts, Bowtie bits, LMC are the four that I use the most and in that order. I always try and go NOS 1st, which I normally get form Tim Tygerts or a local yard/swap meet. The reproduction stuff is almost all made by the same people, so venders are a preference....but watch out, there are some big differences in shipping for different co's. GM & GM restoration still carries alot of parts also. I got all my replacement harness's and mirror's from Classic Parts of America and parts arrived within 3-4 days after paid for. Always had great service from them. BTW- Did you find your guages?

I have used Classic Parts for over 20 years, never had an issue and very prompt service and decent prices, they will have all you posted here.

Is this Guy Tim Tygerts a person on this forum or a supplier?

SNTOS63 · 01-23-2012, 01:52 PM

I'm In California, and I am most people I know buy from The Truck Shop in Orange, CA and also from Brothers Chevy / GMC Parts in Corona, CA. Both are great suppliers. They have it all! If I can't find something in one shop, I can find it at the other. These are my suppliers. All I buy from.

Yeah, but your shipping in state with both of those. They carry alot of parts, but shipped to NC/VA is not cheap even on $5 parts.

That is true. I just drive my 63 on over to the shops since I'm right here, but I believe Classic Parts is somewhere on the east right? And they have most everything too. I guess it's best to go with a company that offers free shipping on a certain amount of money spent right?

I have used Classic and LMC.

1963c-10 · 01-23-2012, 05:30 PM

Yeah. I agree with that. I believe Classic Parts is out of Kansas? I wish we had a supplier that we could just drive to. Be nice , especially when in the middle of a project and you need something. I have used The Truck Shop before with no problem though.

stealth_weapons · 01-23-2012, 06:33 PM

i have LMC about 60 miles down the road Classic Parts is about 70 miles( benefit of being stationed at Whiteman AFB). so i can put eyes on the parts before purchasing so all my buying experiences have been great.
