VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Vendors & Suppliers - Parts Chevysof the 40's

Just wondering - I notice the numero uno suggestion to questions of which vendor to use is The Flling Station, but I never see anyone mentioning Chevysofthe40's - any particular reason? I've dealt with them a lot in years past, but not in the last couple of years. Has their reputation gone downhill?

BOWTIE BOB, Chevs of the fourties has a good reputation. Alot of guys In my area use them all the time. They do not have alot of the real early parts for the twenties and thirties. :) :) :) :)

Donald is correct......Chevs of the 40's is an excellent place to buy parts for your old Chevy. However, if you are looking for parts for the late 1920's and the early 1930's Chevrolets the Filling Station has a better supply of those items.

I,ve been dealing with chevs of the 40s for several years and have been very happy with their products and service,presently the rep I use is Robert ext.100.15 some years ago my rep, there was Ida,she has had her own parts bussiness now for many years and is good at finding parts for you as she attends many swap meets through-out the year.When I asked Ida to find me a country club wood kit for my 48 she sucseeded in a week or so!!!!As with Chevys of the 40s ,she specializes in 40 and earily 50 Chevs.C hef-

Chef-Chevy: I remember talking with Ida, many years ago, ay Chevysofthe40's. I recall that she was extremely knowledgable and helpful as all get out. What's the name & nature of her business now and how would I get in touch with her.
