Just A Head's Up...
If you need letters or emblems for your shark don't go to Eckler's. I just made that mistake. 
They charge more for the parts I ordered than the dealerships do. For example GM #6260519 Letter Set for the rear bumper for a 74, Eckler's sells this piece for $57.99. GM Parts Direct has the same piece for $29.98. The GM list price is $50.81.
The Stingray emblems #3956216 are $47.99/each from Eckler's. GM Parts Direct sells the same piece for $26.06. The GM list price is $44.20.
Throw in a nice $16.00 shipping charge for good measure...
Live & learn I suppose...

I find Zip to have very good prices and very reasonable shipping charges. They are also knowledgeable and friendly to deal with. I use them for most of my purchases and have been very pleased with the service they give.
