What parts
Hello Rob,welcome to the forum! Our Newfie chapter is starting to grow a little,haha. About your question,It depends on what parts you are looking for. If you are lookin for mechanical parts I would just check out a local auto wrecker.The right guy would probably be connected to the auto wreckers network.Then they can search for your part across Canada.If you are looking for brand new HP goodies,they are available but you are going to pay for it,hence the HST,and the fact that diesel addons are already way overpriced! Out your way maybe Gander might have something. Call a local garage and talk to a machanic,he might know something.Canadian Tire can order stuff but $$$$$! In St.Johns, Action truck caps is the place to go.There may be others but they are not well advertised,so its a hunt to find something.As for me it depends on how much of a rush I am in.Ill spend the extra money at a franchise if I need it right away,damn that HST! But I get alot of stuff from ebay and direct from suppliers. Hope this helps,good luck

I wish newfoundland had a good shop for HP goodies. All you see is accesories like bed rails and bull bars. We need fun stuff lol. I ordered most of mine from post falls, idaho but damn duty and brokerage fees are raping my wallet. Latley i been dealing with glenn from diesel addict located in edmonton. 15-25$ shipping costs..awesome! Oh and also great prices. Diesel Addict Parts, Accessories, and Clothing. DPF Deletes, EGR Deletes, UREA Deletes, Mileage Tunes, Race Tunes, and so much more!

I just came across the border a few wks ago and brought a new starter $110 , new alternator $100,,new moog wheel bearing $145,,new lift pump $60,,, fan belt $22 dollars... the cheapest wheel bearing here was $245 plus 13%. All the parts i brought across the border cost me 13% with customs. I brought a new motor cycle ,snow blower and cargo trailor back and this payed for my trip from bosten back. I also brought a used motor cycle engine that a guy from st. johns bought on ebay. I arranged to get the parts shiped to a us address and did not have to pay shipping.

I just ordered a fuel pin from M&H Inc and the shipping was just $30 for a $100 part so i didnt think that was too bad.
Thanks for that link buddy, i`m gonna check them out.

Thanks man, just got off the phone with Brian's Auto body. Seems like a good spot. E bay is great, but shipping takes forever sometimes. Ordered a set of headlights at least 3 weeks ago and UPS just called today for me to pay duty and taxes at the border. Probably going to be another week before I get them.:doh:

Not sure. I know there is a black gmc or chev just up the road. She is lifted but I don,t think it is 12 inches. Is the truck here for good or is it driven by someone here visiting? I will check with the owner[I know him] and get more detail.

I will keep a eye out for it...It may be over to marystown. This truck is a gasser....not diesel? I have to leave this afternoon for 16 days but I will still try to track her down. I know the one up the road only came here about 4 months ago. But it could still be here.

I missed out on a old 12 valve last summer down ur way. it was saleing for a 1000$. it went to corner brook. I want a old one to scrap. I would like to have a 47RH tranny to take apart and study. I bought a service manual but would like to do up a tranny to have for a spare. You don,t know anything about that old truck do you? I think it was a 95. The guy who owned it said the tranny was done but at that time the truck would not start.

It was sold last summer. It went to corner brook. I was wondering if it was scrapped or fixed up for a while. His wife told me it was sold when I phoned for the second time. I lost the phone number. I don,t know his name but I think he had some heavy equipment around. If I find any more details I will pm you. I think you could talk about any thing on this thread because there are so few people using this site from nfld.

I would prefer a 95 automatic. I have missed 2 now. both were going for 1 g.... I would like to see where that one went over corner brook. I would scrap it in a day or so and bring the good parts home. I painted my truck this spring /summer. was at it for 4 months. now I would like a used tranny to haul apart. How much do he want for the 97?
