No one cares for Year One.
No one likes Jacks
No one likes Jims
Hardens does not show any parts for 71-72 Chargers.  I am ready to bang my head ont the wall  :brickwall:
ANY IDEAS ?

IMO. The Good:
Y1-Is ok, they have lots of parts, but shipping is steep.

MagnumHP-  http://www.magnumhp.com/index.php
FF-  http://www.firmfeel.com/default.htm
Charger Specialties-  http://chargerspecialties.com/
MBC-  http://moparsbycrane.com/

The Bad:
Jim's

The Ugly(Iwould still buy from, but have been rubbed wrong at some point):
Jack's
R/T's
CAA

1970 Charger R/T
2006 GC SRT8

Board member Bill Allphin(gtx6970) w/ A & M is top notch.  If he doesn't have what you need he knows who you can count on.

It's been awhile since I was ordering parts and stuff.  Back in the day I always went to Year One; what kind of nonsense have they been pulling over the years?

A&M and Hardens and others mentioned above do  not carry what I need.....71-72 B body Floor pans, Inner fenders ect.
So far ...Year One is the only winner here. :Twocents:

I'm gonna hold my negative comments, but will say A&M is top notch and Dante's been good to me.  There is junk and poor service everywhere.  Truley what the heck is going on?  In all trades and services.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

How specific do you want to get? The best company I've dealt with so far in my project, bar none, is Detroit Muscle Technologies LLC on Ebay but all they make and sell is reverse engineered, laser cut charcoal, neoprene and polyethelne foam gasket sets. :icon_smile_tongue:

When Mopar prices went through the roof it became too tempting a way for some to make a quick buck.  Not picking on anyone, just saying is all.

I "thought" the inner fenders' were interchangeable?  That may have been the Plymouths', CRS?   :shruggy:

+1 for DMT - SUPER nice folks, very good to deal with and DO NOT BUY ANY GASKETS ANYWHERE ELSE! These are the only ones that fit!!! :)
+ 1 for BE&A parts. Great stuff, very good to deal with.

I've been happy with Charger Specialties. Good parts, they even fixed my tach that I had for a year (but didn't install).

Also like RT specialties. He has everything! You can call and he knows what you're looking for.

These guys have always done well by me for sheetmetal. And yes, they do have floors and other sheetmetal for 71-74 B-bodies...

Yes they do.  I guess I forgot about that.  I too like Hardens Muscle car world, and they are local. Plus, I don't have to pay extra for handling and shipping.   They are going to bring it to the Lawrence swap meet for me, at no extra cost. :cheers:
RD I need another steering column.  71-74 B body (floor shifter type).  No..On the column for me. :icon_smile_big:
