My fiancé, Dave is restoring a 1969 Chevy C-10 Pick-up. He actually has two Chevy C-10 trucks on our property: one for parts and the one he is restoring.

He is looking for both original and after-market parts during this restoration project, and since there is no one local that he knows that deals with parts for this type of place, he has been tirelessly searching online for parts for his Chevy truck restoration project.

He says that he found sites for Chevy truck parts easily when he simply searched for "Chevy C-10 truck." However, not all sites that sell these Chevy truck parts were user-friendly. I asked him to share his top three picks for parts for his C-10 Chevy truck. Here is what he told me, with a bit of my own opinions as an e-commerce employee.

BrothersTrucks.com
Why he likes it: "It has a very good catalog; easy to look through."

BrothersTrucks.com offers parts and accessories from Chevy and GMC trucks for years 1947 through 1987. BrothersTrucks.com is extremely professional looking from an e-commerce standpoint. The categorized left-hand navigation of this site makes it easy for truck fanatics to find what they are looking for regarding their Chevy truck or GMC truck. The site also offers a log-in feature, allowing users to create an account for quicker ordering and also to check order history and order status. This site also offers tech articles, truck show schedules, photo galleries and more. A big plus for any online shopping experience is that BrothersTrucks.com also has a customer service line. And, you can also request a print catalog for quick and easy reference.

EarlyClassic.com
Why he likes it: "They have a lot of after market parts for this truck. It's very easy to use."

Takeaways
  • There are lots of after market and original parts available for Chevy trucks online.

We are on our second Chevy Silverado. The first one was a 1992 we bought new and drove until Dec. 2005. I really wanted to spend whatever money it would cost to buy a new one and restore that one because they stopped making the sidestep model, but hubby nixed that idea. He said it was developing rust and nothing could cure that. We now have a 2006 Silverado, and it's nice and has more amenities, but I really miss the old one. I cried when he drove it away for the last time.

I'm thinking of buying a Chevy truck..but not as a classic, just a rust-bucket I can drive. :-)
