Looking for a vendor who provides a good breath of Mopar Restoration parts for B Bodies. One stop shopping preferred. Aside from Classic Industries who is your go to who is not over priced and who does not mark up shipping costs. I have a 69 GTX which is very original but will need to be replacing a few things this spring. Thanks for feedback.
 
I’ve personally used - Mega parts, Mancini, 521 Restorations, Hughes engines and RT Specialties. There are many more and some vendors on here that I probably would have used at the time if I knew they existed, 69bfan (hope that’s right) comes to mind.

Thank you for the list. I will look at their websites to see what they offer.
 
Mega Parts is my #1 vendor, Jamie is a good dude. Dr. Diff for all rear-end and brake stuff, Brewers for all 4-speed parts.
 
Mega Parts and Layson's are my favorites. It depends what you are looking for.
Our hobby is full of specialty shops like Legendary for interior,
Dr. Diff for rear end, and Brewer's for 4 speed parts. E Bay, Mikes' Carbs, Detroit Muscle and of course Halifaxhops.
 
I have found Year One more expensive than most other shops. Mancini usually has most everything I need, and check Summit for best prices but make sure you are getting the part from a reputable manufacture.
 
Halifaxhops for electrical parts. I've learned the hard way to hunt down excellent used OEM if it can be found. Eliminates issues of fit and function. On a '69 GTX that can be difficult. I've been looking for a new factory original exhaust tip for the last four years. Took two years to find an excellent used pair that may have to do. I gave another set to Harry Carson, who owns a survivor '70 GTX he bought new. Many guys who have owned these cars long term hoard the parts, after figuring out how hard some pieces are to come by. My wife would love to get rid of the pile of "junk" in my basement.

Hey now. I call my shelf of parts my own little parts store

90% of it is NOS Mopar, mainly wear items for my car
Seals, suspension parts, switches , PCV valves etc etc etc
 
Year One, biggest downfall is shipping is extortion pricing
bought quite a few things there, 20 years ago, could only find them there

it's way better now,
more suppliers available, for MoPars now

Mega Parts USA, great for especially lil' parts

Summit Racing (free shipping over $109) one of the best sources for stuff I buy

& Mancini Racing mostly (expensive shipping too),
but they have good stuff others won't, many times

DR. Diff

Strange Engineering

not many body parts,
if I do
AMD if I need sheet-metal or bumpers

Mancini is the worst for shipping. I only use them if nobody else has it. I mean they are really bad. Depending on what you get shipping can be more than the item. I paid $170 shipping for SS fuel lines that were $100.
