Default Order Car Restoration parts

I have a 1976 Pontiac Ventura that i rebuilt in high school. I want to upgrade the suspension now. Does anyone have a good place to order parts in Western Canada? I found The Muscle Car Shop in Crossfield, does anyone have any experience with them?

KMS Tools does order some parts. I haven't used them
RPM parts in Saskatoon. Hit or miss. They stock a lot of parts
I have used Muscle Car Shop when they were still in Calgary. They were good.
Rockauto is a go to for sure
I like Parts King in Edmonton. Their prices are close to Rockauto when you factor shipping.

Parts Avatar (partsavatar.ca) has multiple warehouses across the West.

My last order mostly came out of Edmonton.

If our dollar ever gets back close to parity with the Greenback, I would recommend Rock Auto (rockauto.com). They are US-based, but, have Canadian warehouses.

Parts King in EDM is well worth checking. I have bought a lot of stuff there over the past 4 years. I also still buy lots from Rock Auto. Even with the exchange rate, many of their parts are less than half the cheapest price up here. I got an Aisin OEM timing belt kit cw water pump, tensioners etc. for a Lexus for $225 including shipping and exchange. Best I could find here was $850.

I’d be interested in their site. I’m restoring a 63 Wildcat. Parts aren’t always easy to find.

Default Rockauto

I get almost all of my car parts from RockAuto. Generally cheaper than anywhere locally with a pretty good selection of quality depending on what you want. Even after shipping it’s often half the price for a better quality part than the local auto parts store. But not always, I still call around when I need parts. Not sure if they do really old stuff but they have a lot.

I ran in to a friend from high school whose family are heavy into restoring vehicles. Living in Medicine Hat and being so close to the border, they just order parts from American sites and ship to Havre MT. There is a guy down there that just receives and holds packages. Looks like I am making a trip to Havre when the border opens...
