Filling Station is great as is;
Obsolete Chevy Parts
Both Co's. know Chevy's and will have what you need 95% of the time. Or they will help you find out where to get a part.
You may also try Patrick's in Arizona. Lots of engine parts, mostly new.
All of these company's are on line. Just do a search.
Good Luck,

Pete,
One thing to keep in mind is I'm pretty sure the vendors get a certain piece (say a reproduction "widget") from the same source. So they all have essentially the same item. A lot about which one you or anybody else "likes" depends on how much the re-sellers (vendors like The Filling Station, Obsolete Chevy Parts, Patricks, Chevs of the 40's etc. etc.) know about what you're talking about; the 'advice' they can give you and so on.
Bill.

Pete, for parts like what you are looking for Ebay is really the best place to find them IMO. There are a few guys on their with ebay stores and their prices can't be beat. Check it out and good luck.

I have to agree with the e-bay comment. The stuff you can find out there is just amazing - - and as a rule cheap. Lots of people cleaning out grandpa's closet and selling off all his prized auto part collection. For example, I have picked up all new gauges for my 48 in the original boxes cheap, a NOS fold down rear bumper guard, all kinds of great stuff. Even small odds and ends that I was concerned that I would never find like the little metal stampings that dress the RH and LH windshield trim at the centerline of the car. Don't forget the *wildcard in your e-bay search. I suggest 194* Chev*. Pages and pages of stuff will come up.

Excellent point by Bowtie about the asterisk. I didn't know about that 'trick' until a year or so ago. Wish I'd have known about it years ago....

Hi Neighbor, I too hope you are feeling better.  :vcca: Jerry in Minnesota
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.
