Hey all:

I just wanted to inform y'all if your having trouble finding replacement body/trim connectors that there's a store here in Des Moines called The Body Parts Store. Guess what they sell?

Anyway, the last week or so I've been trying to hunt down body connectors for a friend's jeep. Many of the local parts stores offered them, but, at best, in packs of 10, and even those had to be ordered in.

I remembered that The Body Parts Store was here, and ended up ordering from them. I got bulk packs of 25 or 50 for less than $10 each! They had a book of the actual connectors on display, not just pictures of them, so matching up the original connector was really easy and straight forward. I saw some connectors I didn't even know existed. Most of them they keep in stock, but some of them, like the ones I needed, do have to be ordered in.

So I just thought I'd share this source with you. If you're close enough to make the drive worth it, it's on N.E. 54th Street off Delaware Ave. As far as I can tell, this store doesn't have a website. A google search yields a website that doesn't appear to be connected with the one here in Des Moines. So, if you're not close enough to make the drive worth it, I am willing to purchase and ship connectors for anybody that would like me to for the cost of parts and shipping. Just PM me if interested.

That's all.

 

Do you know if they have a core support mounting kit? I don't live too far away from Des Moines but far enough away to not make a special trip.. Thank you for the store that will be very helpful!

That's their # and hours.

I figure it's better if you call- that way I don't get asked questions I don't have the answers to.

 

Thank you and yes that is true!
