don't know 'bout them but i would consider any parts supplier that are a forum supporter here, they are listed on the side of the page....as always pricing is a consideration, good luck with your '65 ....

I use Long Island Corvette Supply. They seem to have more mid year parts in stock than other vendors.

Just because a company is advertising on the forum doesn't make them a good or reliable vendor. You did the right thing by asking for advice on this particular vendor (orany vendor you are not familiar with) and hopefully you will get some good responses. We often see posts from members after they got burned by a vendor and it is then they get input from other forum members of poor quality or service. Better to ask up front.

I have never had a back order with LIC's, and if they don't have it, it's probably not reproduced......fast shipping also. They have a reputation of being a little unfriendly, and impatient on the phone, but I've talked to them a couple of times, and didn't find that to be the case

I bought a frame,a tralling arm and a power steering kit. The frame was a restoration frame meaning it was for my 67 but it was made out of a71. It was a really a nice frame for the money.
