LMC parts?

[stevenfromtexas]

Are y'all ok with LMC parts? are there cheaper places to find things?

Thanks from a rookie

[68 P.O.S.]

There's several cheaper places and board vendors here that have quality items. LMC is known for having cheap quality items, but a kickarse catalog.

really depends on the part. They do have a fire catalog though

You will hear a lot of guys gripe about LMC, but I've been pleased with everything I bought there. Having said that, there are several parts vendors that support this forum. They may not always be the cheapest around but for the most part own these trucks themselves and choose quality over just being cheap.

I would advise to buy rubber parts elsewhere IMHO.

For one reference.... I was looking at a rear stepside fender from LMC. Based on their catalog it looked like it was going to cost 625 bucks to get it. I got one at a show (new) for 360 bucks. Granted that was a sale and I didn't pay shipping, but the point still applies.

If you know what you're looking for and certain products that are made by the same manufacturer no matter who you buy from, go for it. sometimes they're the only place that has what you want. I've gotten some things from them and never had a problem...

For me they're cheaper most of the time but hen they add a straight 10% for shipping which usually kills the deal. I have yet to order anything from them because of that. But their catalog and website are awesome!

Usually my first choice and would be my recommendation.

LMC---Lots More Crap (from China). And the truck they use in the commercial...the one they say they built in that commercial? It was actually done by Jared Zimmerman and Lou Santiago.

As a general eule, I don't buy anything from LMC that I need to be high quality.

When I need quality, Classic Heartbeat or GMCPauls.

If I need an acceptable part that doesn't have to be oem spec, classic parts.

[cjoenny89]

I used them and 90% of the parts were fine and customer service was fine. I got some damaged parts in shipping and they sent me new ones no problems

[michael bustamante]

i have ordered suspension a nd brake parts from LMC and getting ready to order an e brake cable now, ive had no issues with their products,
well i take that back, i also ordered the door window rubbers from them and they were trim to fit around the vent windows, i didnt like that

[tbonham27]

Lmc lower door shell replacement panel......horrible, my only experience.

I also live close by. I have had poor luck with their parts lately. Sometimes they are OK for drivers but poor show quality. Of al things the carpeting is really bad. We can save on shipping but the Kansa sales tax is almost 10n percent now. I prefer Classic Parts. (Chevy Duty).
