LMC Truck...

[1BadSS]

What an awesome place and friendly staff. Drove out there today to pickup a fender for my swap, and some other small parts. They wouldn't charge me until the fender was brought out and verified to be dent free. These guys are worth the cash to go visit. I went because i'd save $68 in shipping by driving 20mins down the road.

Anyone else have any good experiences with them? Their showroom isnt on par with Chevy Duty's Showroom, but they get your parts quickly.

I ordered a few odds and ends from them after my truck got hit. Everything showed up quick and was as advertised. So far I'd only gotten smaller stuff though - I'd been all set to plan a drive to KC on my way to Saint Louis and get fenders and a bumper from them when I stumbled on a local place called Bowtie Bits. Now I can get the same stuff locally.

I used them once and was very satisfied.

There's a ton of bad going around about LMC, it's nice to see some good stuff brought up.

Their repop fenders also fit perfectly too, area heavier gauge than factory gm and were in great shape. All of the parts i've bought from them; internet and in person fit great and work great.

Are you thinking about MANES?

Very cool. I've been buying parts for my sons 91 S-10 and my 85 Chev for years there. haven't bought many 71 parts from them yet. Some don't care for them but so far I've had good luck. Who made the fender? Tri-plus or..?

Chevy Duty (Classic parts of America)

I have bought from all 4 because I am close. Chevy duty does a have a beautiful showroom, its fun to go there. It just depends on what you buy at LMC, some things good some bad. I don't think they have any expertise, like most of the board vendors you will find on this site.

I haven't purchased much from them in the line of truck stuff. However, their initial company, VICTORIA BRITISH, that sells restoration parts for old british sports cars like MG's, Austin Healeys, Triumphs, etc., has supplied me with LOTS of parts over the years for restoration work I've done not only on my own cars but on other folks' cars as well. I Always had good service from them, with good quality parts. And, with a reasonable price tag. I've found that no matter where you shop, there will always be maybe a little better quality item elsewhere or something a little different to be had. It's just what you're after, and sometimes what the budget allows. I've seen folks paying top dollar for parts from the 'best' vendors at shows, and six months later have a nicely rusted chrome bumper on their sports car. As for Vicky British/LMC, all the stuff I've received from them have been of good quality and with minimal problems. I hope the same research has been included in the location of their truck parts as with the sports car parts. Bottom line, if this company wasn't doing something right, they wouldn't be in this business, and adding new lines, after twenty years.
