Golden State does not seem to have the best reputation among the readers.
Basically the consensus seems to be that they are bigger than their britches
and have lost their willingness to put their customer first (plus they seem
to be priced higher than just about everyone else). Obsolete seems to have
a good (loyal) following, but I don't know them personally. I have used
Chevy Duty for just about ALL of my several thousand $ of purchases, and
would recommend them gladly. I have also used Jim Carter and was very
pleased. Jim Carter is on the group and I think will send a catalog at no
cost. Chevy Duty's phone number (from memory no less), is (816) 741-8029,
and they have a web site (http://www.chevyduty.com) where you can request a
catalog.
Hope this helps,
Rob
