Who else besides LMC...

[shady]

Can you get parts for first gens from....? I havent checked places like autozone yet.. but I need a FULL bodymount kit, washers, bolts, and all. and a door handle for one side... cant remember which.... because LMC says N/A for them parts.

It just made me wonder if there was any other old truck resto parts places out there

Brothers trucks specializes in 47-87, I actually prefer them to LMC.

CCP maybe too

 

[shady]

yeah I found brothers a little bit ago.... I like it

Classic Heartbeat

Or GMCPAULS

Both of those places sell the best of what is out there for a first gen. In the beginning, I ordered a lot from LMC. I ended up buying most of it twice. Order from these guys and just do it once.

I've used brothers a few times. Used to be a lot more out there but has dropped of a bit. I've done pretty good on eBay parts too. Try classic industries as well.

also 1aauto.com, who I believe is a vendor here.

For my poly body mount order I used amazon:

Otherwise, I would stick with NorCal69's suggestions.

We used to get lots of parts from them for our muscle car before we sold it.

I'm hoping to find regular rubber ones. only poly ones ive delt with have always transferred more vibrations and stuff to the body. brothers has the whole kit, bolts and all for the same price as LMC.... I forgot about amazon though

 

[ekajkrats]

Yeah, rubber with all the bolts sounds like a good way to go! Mine didn't have the bolts...picked those up elsewhere.

The square washers for the radiator support weren't with my kit either , but I still had them. Some of the rubber kits came with them, which would have been nice to get all new hardware.

Since mine didn't come with bolts, I was also tempted to do the 1 inch body lift by ORD that came with the bolts: http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/oneinchlift.htm

Ultimately I didn't, but was thinking about it in case I wanted extra clearance for ease of working on certain things or a lil extra room for a bigger gas tank.

I got my kit from poly performance. 100 bucks got me everything I needed with new carriage bolts and all that. I don't notice a difference in vibration but the body sits nice and tight and rides nice. The hardest ones to replace we're up front under the core support. A couple were also stuck under the tub but air chisel fixed them right up.
