Locating And Purchasing Vintage Chevrolet Starters

By James Reed


If you own a vintage truck or car you will need to keep it properly maintained so that it can be driven. When a fault develops with a component on your vehicle you will sometimes have to buy and fit replacement spares. When you are trying to locate and purchase Vintage Chevrolet Starters there are various ways to buy a compatible unit.

The starter motor on a vehicle is a very important component that needs to be in good working order. When the driver turns the ignition key the motor takes power from the vehicles battery to turn over the engine. If the motor has developed a fault or has completely failed it should be replaced so that the vehicle can be started properly.

There are many places that sell starter motors and it is worth shopping around before you purchase one for your vehicle. Dealer that are authorized to sell Chevrolet cars and trucks may stock them or they may order one in. It is also useful to ask local auto spares stores and scrap vehicle dealers in your area to see if they can supply the item you need.

A number of vehicle parts suppliers can also be found online and the web sites for the suppliers contain some useful information. The web based retailers will list the items that are in stock with a picture, parts number, description and purchase price. You should be aware that when you buy parts from one of the online suppliers you will have to pay shipping costs to get the part delivered to you.

Some spares for older Chevrolet vehicles can be hard to find as they are not sold by spares stores and main dealer showrooms. If you can not locate the component that you need you may be able to get a unit made by an engineering firm. Engineering companies are available that will have a stock of suitable motors or they can make units from scratch.

Another way to get a motor is to take the faulty one from your vehicle and send it to specialist and have it rebuilt. The technicians can strip down the damaged motor, carry out the repairs that are required and send it back to you. Having components reconditioned may also save you some money as you will only have to pay for the repairs and not a new unit.

It may also be worth contacting one of the Chevy enthusiast clubs where many members will have spares that they may sell. Some of the enthusiasts will advertise spares in dedicated Chevrolet magazines or they may sell them on the internet. There are also some online auction pages that are worth checking out and you may find a part that you can purchase directly from the seller or you can bid on it.

When you get your spare parts it is advisable to keep the receipt for payment in case it is needed at a later date. Brand new parts and some refurbished parts will be covered with a time based guarantee. Always use the service of a qualified vehicle mechanic to fit starter motors unless you are able to do the work in your garage or workshop.
