Default Is there a Chevy dealer that sells parts cheap?
I'm mostly a german car ***** and there are several dealers who sell OE parts for well under list price.

I assume that's the case for Chevy dealers as well, but I don't know which ones...

Can someone point me in the direction of a few? I need to get the LS6 PVC valley cover stuff...

TIA!

seems the "BIG" advertised GM parts retailer has cheap prices....but then screws you out the *** with no lube on shipping

A little off topic but I have a MK1V R32. Who do you deal with for OE parts? Oh and my 67 2180cc turbo dune buggy is a blast to drive too!!

Thanks for the tip Undertow, I ordered from gmpartsdirect and it was $55. Summit wanted $90 for it.

Looks like I have my next project lined up, I replaced the radiator this past weekend...

How much was the shipping? GMPD usually overcharges for shipping and their shipping time is slow.

Yeah Patrick is a great guy to deal with. He always keeps me informed if there's a delay with my parts shipment.

Roger Dean Chevrolet out of Florida. CHEAP shipping, and their prices are right in line with the lowest I've seen.
