Dennis Carpenter, Carolina Classics, Mac's, or?

Post by ridealong34 »

I need to order a few parts tomorrow or Wednesday. Which supplier would most likely have the following in stock with decent shipping: Custom Cab windshield gasket, red driver's door arm rest, red plastic door panels, and a 65 wiring diagram? I have used Mac's in the past. Are the other guys any better?

Thanks for your time, Jason

I recently bought a set of plastic door inserts that are more like the originals than anything I had found before. Although, I have not installed these, the quality seems very good and it was a little known supplier that makes these. I can't supply a name or contact information at the moment, but I will try and find the panels and see if I saved the info with those. As to rubber and shipping, Dennis Carpenter is most likely the cheapest shipping as they have a set rate. Suggest you buy several things to get the most from the shipping.

Tom is great to deal with. Dennis Carpenter has the original Ford Tooling with great "new" parts.
If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered from Dennis Carpenter this morning. Their tech guy was helpful and I liked their fixed rate shipping. I got a tracking number and my parts are supposed to arrive this Thursday.

I'm just gonna add a little caution here.... I found myself ordering parts I didn't need or that didn't work. Dennis Carpenter's return guy always seemed like it was a PITA for you to call and return stuff. At Mac's it was a much friendlier exchange. I found that I had to return a number of parts to DC because they simply weren't right. Mac's has the option now for many of their parts where you can use the OEM part number to search for your part. Also, ensure you really NEED something before ordering it...just because the catalog says it's for your truck...double check by looking at the Ford Parts Illustration and then the Description catalogs. Have fun with your project.
