Tri-five Chevy parts distributors

[71chevellejohn]

My brother has a '56 Chevy 150 that he is working on. For Christmas, I was looking at ordering him some parts to nudge him into working on it.

I figured some of you guys may know who's better to buy from and who to avoid.

Thanks in advance.

My dad has a 57 Bel Air 2dr HT that I'm trying to get him to work on...we finally got it into the garage about 2 weeks ago.

His is/was running, but needs a lot underneath(floors, brakes, suspension).

Southwest Classics off Cooper? I've been in the showroom but never purchase anything from them.

they have nothing in stock, and are pretty high comparatively. Not that DM's prices are the lowest around, but when I went looking for something I needed, I told them DM had it in stock, but was a 2 hour round trip that I could only do on a saturday morning. They offered to price match them, but wouldnt have it in for a week.

Good to know, I was gonna use them for sheet metal on the 64 to save shipping. I'll call before making the drive.

I work at a classic car dealer and order parts for these cars. I like to use H&H Classics for tri five stuff. They are in Arkansas so they get stuff here quick, and they are cheap too.

I used to use Ecklers a lot but after a few hiccups with them I started using H&H and they've been doing a good job.

H&H Classics are great people.

Not a fan of Danchuck or Ecklers.

I was going to say what he said ^^^, for whatever that's worth.

The floor pans that I used from H&H and put in my car required VERY minimal trimming and fit really well.

Year One always has pretty good sales for Christmas. The code is in the back of Hot
Rod and Car Craft.

JEGS. They carry Gold Star parts. Gold star has a warehouse in Lewisville. Thet are a wholesale place though, but you can order through JEGS. Here is the gold star site. You can look at their stuff and search on JEGS to order. http://www.goldenstarauto.com/NewPro...px?npc=11&pi=0
If you want to save shipping on big stuff, order on phone with JEGS and get them to set up the pick up in Lewisville. I picked up a deck lide and some otehr stuff to save the huge shipping bill.
I'm building a 55 post myself...Tons of metal work to do.

A co worker of mine has a 56 that he just recently finished. He sunk more than $50k in it and never drives it. If your brother wants a screaming deal it is for sale. $30k will take it home. I don't know what your brother is planning to do to his but if he isn't too far along I would highly recommend buying one that someone is taking a bath on.

This car has a built motor, 4 link, currie 9", lots of bug $$ stuff. It's a show car that runs really well. He took it to a few shows local to DFW and then put it in his garage. Hasn't driven it in a year.

I'd have to finance it for him... and that's not happening. lol

Besides, he's been wanting to build a car for a long time.

A problem for the guys that have mega-nice cars. My neighbor is the president of Dallas area Classic Chevy's, and he drives his 56 Corvette maybe a dozen times per year. Another neighbor drives his 55 Chevy convertible exactly once per year to get it inspected a couple of miles away.

They love their cars, but don't get to enjoy them anywhere near as often as I do with my Mustang. No where near as unique, but late models rule!!!
