ATHEY'S Classic Parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pissonNOS · 07-21-2003, 12:24 AM

I know there was someone a while ago who ordered from them I'm just wondering who else has. they seem really cheap in there prices so im just wondering how reputable they are or if anyone recommends them I live in canada so i dont want a bunch of long distance problems
also who would you recommend for drop spindles?

Look at the # of posts and length of membership by everybody who's replied to this so far. Bill Athey IS the best kept secret here! He doesn't have as big a presence here as some of the others mainly because he works ALL the time. Can't go wrong with Bill!

I have also dealt with Bill and he was prompt and Prices where good. He told me everything about the part I ordered.

Drop spindles, I have only dealt with Early Classics . They do a nice job too.

I met Bill at Carlisle last month and he had good prices and good stuff!
