Hi Henry,
I have had good luck with all the vendors that service the hobby.
I purposefully buy from multiple sources because I want to help ensure
that they all stay in business, including my local FLAPS. I usually
check to see who has the best price including shipping on the complete
set of things I need at a given time, and order from them. Sometimes I
re-arrange my work plan to fit what's on sale.
Here's a short list of suppliers I've had good results from --
Patricks Antique Cars - Engine parts, manufacturer of Fenton intake and
exhaust.
Brothers Trucks,
Classic Parts of America,
Jim Carter,
Truckshop
BTW, I have a 4-core radiator with trans cooler for the AD trucks if
you're gong to run a v-8.
I bought it and discovered it's too thick to work with an inline without
some core support mods.
regards,
Leon
