Recommendation on mounts, seals, pumps, etc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to start buying the little things I need to put in my rebuilt 350 in my '76 elky, but I thought I just ask about which parts provider y'all like best.
I plan on just buying everything from Advanced Auto Parts. I'm not making this a complete restoration or super clean and nice. I just need it to run and be reliable on a VERY LIMITED budget.
I could use Napa but they seem to be the same quality as AAP but just more expensive.
Does anybody have a better online parts place to recommend? I've looked around but can't seem to find all the things i want in one place. So I'm just looking for the basic seals and gaskets for the engine and tranny, water/oil pump, engine/tranny mounts, wires,plugs, etc.
you know the little stuff.

thanks in advance,
Kenneth

I shop at Advance, Autozone, and if it's something I want American made, I go to NAPA. This is for stock stuff. They all have online stores.

thanks for the headsup...
I've always been looking for parts for my VW and you just can't get the right stuff at advanced auto..., napa, etc. so I go online. I guess it's obvious that they'd be the best place for chevy parts.
thanks,
Kenneth

For domestic parts.....if you are loking for good prices, summit tends to be almost always right on, an for VW, summit has a section for them as well....too bad you arent up here, a friend of mine owns discount import parts......that is where I got all my parts when I had my VW's and porsches....
