Any one company better than the others when it comes to quality, service and price?

32phil · 06-10-2011, 06:50 PM

Dick Spadaro.... the best of all.
Both Bill & Dick know the Early V-8 Fords inside out.

Six Pack to go · 06-10-2011, 07:11 PM

I have used them before....looking thru the MAC catalog at the moment....

FRANK PKNY · 06-10-2011, 07:17 PM

Dick is very good, and most of the other dealers are very helpfull, it's a good hobby and generally most dealers are into the hobby.

Steves46 · 06-10-2011, 07:21 PM

We are really fortunate to have several oustanding parts houses. I usually purchase from Joe's Antique Auto. Joe is a very nice fellow and he stands behind his parts.

My Flathead / Y Block supplier of choice is Reds Headers, Jim's customer service is simply outstanding. Caters well to international purchaser.

DavidG · 06-10-2011, 09:08 PM

Dick Spadaro is tops. He knows what's good and what isn't and the service is first rate.

Brian · 06-10-2011, 09:14 PM

I always use Joblot. Outstanding service. Brian

jim1932 · 06-10-2011, 10:18 PM

I am new but I go to Dick first, Nacewicz for floors and fastners, Dave Renner for carb stuff. No beef with others, just used these guys first and was very happy with the service.

Ken Crans · 06-11-2011, 07:44 AM

James at Joblot is very good. Always has good info and the service is excellent. Ken

2935ford · 06-11-2011, 08:42 AM

I find almost all the suppliers excellent. The unfortunate part is the parts themselves.
So much of it now is offshore and the quality just isn't there.
Just my 2cents.

Baxter Ford in Lawrence,KS and Early Ford Store in San Dimas,CA.

kwmpa · 06-11-2011, 10:12 AM

Mac's but that's only because they ship right away and I have the parts in two days although their quality in the shipping department has gone down hill very fast...dick spadaro is going to be getting all my business

TJ · 06-11-2011, 12:09 PM

Since I live on the west coast I deal with Bob Drake and C and G parts. I'm close to Sacramento Vintage, but I'm not going to use them in the future. They now repackage everything so you never know who manufactures the part. That irritates me as some repo stuff is better than others and I want to have a choice on who's parts I purchase. I also found they are frequently out of stock on many parts.

Matt in Alameda · 06-11-2011, 12:47 PM

For ALL brake parts, information, and service go to Richard Lacey ..The Early V8 Garage in southern California.

Ken Bull · 06-11-2011, 02:07 PM

My 36 restro came out as good as it is

thanks to Dick Spadaro,Mac,Bob Drake,Carpenter,Nacewicz & Skip. Plus trips to Spring & fall Carlisle Pa & fall Hershey Pa & Rhinebeck NY. The journey for me started in 1987 acquiring My 36 Cabriolet-basket case & 1940 Ford PU in 1990 (My driver till 2009). This forum has been a big plus too!

Modifieddriver · 06-11-2011, 02:34 PM

My parts supplier and go to guy for tech info is Dick Spadaro. He eats and lives this old Ford stuff.

I have another guy almost at my doorstep here that moved down from New York, but Dick is still "Da' Man".

Oh yeah, can't leave out Bill, Dick's right hand man. He's actually better with the customer than Dick

, but don't tell Dick that

wga · 06-11-2011, 08:45 PM

Try to work with vendors close to northern California. Early V8 store in Campbell, Ca.
Early Ford Parts in San Dimas has a ton of hard to find parts.
C&G in Escondido, Ca., has great service, great attitude etc.
TJ mentioned Sac Vintage, second that.

BILLF/TRF · 06-11-2011, 09:50 PM
