An open letter to parts Vendors

[Gene]

I have ordered alot of products from LMC, and I can "honestly" say that I dont have a problem with their quality. I got exactly what I paid for. I compared it to my factory trim, and while admittedly it is stamped from thinner aluminum, once mounted it looks great and works just fine. I get the fact that everyone prefers to order local and help the little guy, but living here in Oklahoma the options are to order from a "walmart" like store like LMC or Classic Truck Parts, or drive 3 hours to the only 67-72 parts source close to me. My local parts source (Kennys Trucks) Decided to move to Texas and he was an hour away. I would love to use strictly the board vendors, but I didnt build a show quality truck, and can live with parts that may not be on the NOS level. Anyways, I get where JointTech is coming from, I just placed two orders to two different companies because neither one carried all the parts I needed so I paid for shipping twice.
