^ x2 i like classic parts. I usually keep catalogs from all of them and compare. I would definately do so with a 3k order. I find most of the time classic parts to have the best combonation of price/quality. Though thier inventory is not as broad as LMC.

one more reason I order ClassicParts over Brothers on larger orders... sales tax. Brothers is in Cali, thats like 9% sales tax of an order on top of everything. in Texas you wont have that problem with either, as ClassicParts is in Kansas City...

Caddieup · 01-13-2012, 01:41 PM

Wow the 9% would basically negate the 15% discount. I'm def checking them out!!
Thanks for the advice!!

JumboAMONGus · 01-13-2012, 01:52 PM

Daze57 · 01-15-2012, 11:59 PM

with as many parts hat are made for theses old trucks - and no quality control ? man how sad is that -

coralhead · 01-16-2012, 07:39 AM

I have purchased parts from Classic but the bulk of my orders are from truckandcarshop.com. I have never had an issue with them and @ $350 no shipping charges for normal items. I ordered a grill from brothers on Black Friday with a price of $60 off original but the shipping ended up being $58. I have not purchased any LMC products since the price is normally higher on all items.

Good luck....

JumboAMONGus · 01-16-2012, 03:00 PM

My '48 sat for 38 years before we found it. It did turn over. Oiled down the cylinders with marvel Mystery oil, let it soak for 2 weeks, installed new carb and points, new battery, and it FIRED RIGHT UP! Drove it all last year and ran well. I just couldn't believe it. Keep your fingers crossed. Nice project!

Caddieup · 01-23-2012, 01:55 PM

Can anyone tell me which hood emblem is correct for a '54?
I've seen both on 54's. Is #1 a V8 only emblem?

My dad's truck looks like it had #2 emblem on it before.

#1

#2

I think its a #2 emblem, that you need on a 54 model..
the other one is for a 55 and later model.. but I am not sure...

jimig1 · 01-23-2012, 02:56 PM

#1 is pre 55.5 It looks similar but that is not for the 55.5-59

Caddieup · 01-23-2012, 04:03 PM

I've looked on several different parts sites and I'm confused...

Brothers only offers the gasket for the '54 emblem

LMC only offers a 47-53,55,56,57 emblems

Classic Parts only offers 47-53 emblems

Truck and Car Shop offers a 54, but i called and they said they
were out of stock and couldn't get anymore.

So I'm 100% confused. Looks like I may have to put the 53 on it..

My 54 has #1 and as for as I know it is stock. No it is not "V8". Clay

Caddieup · 01-23-2012, 08:57 PM

Thanks Clay. I got the V8 thing from the add on the Truck and Car Shop site. No-one has the 54 emblem
