Out of the two I prefer Chevy Duty as they seem to care more about their
shipping. I placed an order one time
with Jim Carter and the items were an arm rest, chrome
rear view mirror bracket, tailgate chains, and assorted
interior trim screws. It all arrived boxed well but
all of it was in one plastic bag that was tied off in
a knot, sort of like shake and bake, neat concept huh.
