Parts parts sources?

[frank-id]

I have a small repair/welding/fabrication shop. I live in a small town of about 35K folks. All the truck shops and truck parts places give very little discound for a small shop with a cash plan with no account. Every part is very expensive and getting higher. Any one have a good source to share. Many of the parts I get on Ebay are much less dollars even with shipping.

I work for a large heavy truck dealer....them parts aint cheap even if you have deep pockets and a sky high credit limit.... I'm just amazed at the cost of some this stuff we sell. I took a heater tube to a customer last week, just a metal tube about 2' long and had one bend in it....we sold it for $425....and our cost was over $300... I could have made one of these for a couple of bucks!!
