Lmc is one of the best companies when it comes to ordering OEM replacement parts for ANY truck. Iver rebuilt numerous trucks from fords, to chevys, to dodges and i swear by LMC. Shipping is usually fast, and parts are always a dead match. The only thing i could suggest, sometimes ( on VERY VERY RARE occasions they are expensive) JC whitney would come through and be cheaper.


Ive always given LMC truck the first look when im looking for parts. There technical staff isnt the best, but if you know what parts will work on your truck and what wont, theyre amazing. Besides they have a break down for every vehicle from the largest part, to the smallest bolt holding the ground strap on the hood. Its insane!!!!

I've ordered from LMC several times, got nothing bad to say about them. Their prices are usually competitive; but like any other vendor, shop around a little and check. Shipping is fast, never had any problems with bad, broken, or wrong merchandise.

LMC is a great company, ordered quite a bit of stuff from them for my old chevy, excellent part quality and customer service.

I wont use JC Whittney anymore though. I ordered a fender and tailgate from them and both were crap. The tailgate would bend everytime you shut it, and not just a little bit, it looked like a crushed can after opening it and closing it lightly a few times, so it was returned, and the fenders were made from the same material and had so many dents in them by the time they got to us that I had to send it straight back to them. Im not going to pay for parts that are dented and have had hole punched through them during delivery and look worse than the parts I was trying to replace them with. I ended up getting my money back but it was such a pain in the *** that their products were such sh*t.

LMC is a great company to buy from, but sometimes can be a little on the high side. so shop around before you buy.

LMC is good

generally, if they have a website that has detailed info along with prices and a check-out counter. Most of the time, they are legit. if you need to call up to place an order, then they are small time and may or may not be trusted.

I use paypal for everything. I have the Paypass Paypal logo downloaded into my browser and it auto fills any form i need to. It's super handy. It also creates a temporary credit card number if you don't trust the site. This means Paypal takes the money out of your account as usual but the place you buy from gets a temporarily issued credit card that is good for only the exact the amount charged. This way they can never steal your info. Also, Paypal gurantess fraud when you use this so it's absolutely safe for me. i also have what they call the Verisign program which is a little handheld remote that has a 6digit code that comes up when it's time to type in your Paypal password. It only costs a buck for them to send it out and get signed up. It saves from anyone hacking into your account even if they know your password because you need the 6 digit code to access your account or other personal info if your not at home to use the gadget.

private party sales are different.

I have bought a few things from them for my 63 F100. No problems to report. They have been around for quite a while now.

Also look at www.50resto.com They now have Ram and Challenger stuff. I have bought a lot of things there for my Mustang. Fast shipping and good prices.
