That's like asking what's the best beer.

You're close to Classic Heartbeat in Olympia Washington. I have ordered from them once with positive service and products.

Beer part is easy.

I'm a MGD and Corona guy myself.

Quality of parts?

Hi Sub 1972

I have ordered a bunch of parts from LMC Truck - trim, suspension accessories and brakes. They were great to deal with, really prompt and the parts were perfect. Highly recommended.

Hope this helps,
Vaughan

I'd recommend dealing with board member Wes at classic heartbeat - just over the border in WA state. You won't be disappointed. http://www.classicheartbeat.com

You can also try www.dreamershotrods.com they are located in Everett Wa. I have bought from them lots of time they are great to deal with and have a lot of stuff in stock and good prices. Hope that helps. Brothers truck and classic industries truck section works good as well.

Might be OK as long as you don't need to ask any technical questions, because the folks at LMC will not be able to answer them. I would deal with a supplier that knows these trucks and can answer any questions you may have during and after the sale....

Just my 2¢ worth

The 4x4 stuff in a 1972 burb, is the same as what's in a PU.
What are you really looking for?
Suspension, axle, springs, transfer case questions?

Mechanical stuff for this, has a huge cross reference so finding parts is actually pretty easy if you are staying OE. The big parts houses mentioned, mainly carry the small perishable parts like bushings and maybe a bracket or two.

Lots of the 4x4 stuff, or back half of the drive train is salvage parts.
Unless you want to build new drive shafts, or buy new U-joints then you are best suited to find a specialist in your area for the shafts. The U joints and front shaft joint, are best found from 4x4 specialists that cater to Dana equipment. Since Dana Spicer was the main supplier of these parts.
