If it's something I need cause I'm in a bind I'll do autozone/o'reilly.

Also look into late model restoration for misc. interior/exterior pieces. They have good quality stuff.
Late model restoration? 🤔Never heard of that, where can I find out more about them? I'm intrigued...

I always do a Google search for rockauto coupon code before checking out, you can always find 5%, and that often offsets most of the shipping. OTOH when we rebuilt the front suspension on my sons 05 f150 after a crash, the freight was so high 5% didn't do jack, but we paid it, just to get it all, and fairly quickly.

It's rare that I find things cheaper than what is being offered at rockauto. But it happens. I recently bought the energy suspension poly body mounts for $61 on amazon prime shipped next day. Rockauto wanted $77 shipped 2-3 day. But I would say that for 90% of my purchases I do rockauto because if you are buying more than say 4-5 items, the price savings usually overcomes the shipping cost increases. Amazon gets a good portion of my business too, usually for heavier stuff, or for stuff I need tomorrow or next day. Ebay just always feels like the price is marked up to cover the fees, but it sometimes is the only option for discontinued stuff.

They carry mostly mustang stuff. But they've started to carry more and more parts for the gen. 1 lightning, all the interior/exterior cosmetic stuff is the same as 92-96 trucks and if you have an F150 you can pretty much get anything to make your truck a lightning clone.

I want to post this earlier, but couldn't remember where I put the link. These folks at least used to have a lot of new old stock & are good to deal with: https://grandtexauto.com
