I would also suggest Kanter or Rock Auto. I rebuilt the front end on my 64 98 many years ago and used parts from PST. Their prices were ok but the customer service was lacking. I think they market more parts for "performance" cars.

Kanter is probably your best bet for a 1964 full size. The full size cars are not well supported any more, even by the normal replacement part vendors like Moog.

As I mentioned, PST has "so-so" customer service and doesn't seem to carry as many parts for full sized cars.
If you're still waiting to hear from Kanter send them another e-mail. It shouldn't take more than an afternoon for them to get you the shipping costs.

For now, though, I'm glad you seem to have finally gotten your parts, we hope.

well guys i recieved my parts thru amazon on wedsneday , no problems , im that happy i have just ordered some more parts thru em....and $17bucks in freight!!!
im still waiting for any type of anwser from them "big suppliers" ...nobody
im still shocked , my brother even attempted to order sum carpet for his 66 olds 98 coupe , and the same thing he is still waiting for a reply , in the end it has been done by a local motor trimmer......i just dont get it??? in oz we are always hearing in the news how hard work/bussiness is doing in the US, beleive me im not a person who normally complains but i know if i did bussiness like this we would be out of bussiness(my brother is a car wholesaler and has a large used car lot )
i bought a reman brake booster for my 64 olds off a "big time "seller thru ebay... i was so happy bought and paid $135 +55 for freight straight away , i get a message thru ebay a couple of days later saying the seller has cancelled my sale ... no explanation....no refund offered
..so when i email the seller i am told that the manufacture dont make this unit anymore (centric)... although the ebayer had 2 listed at the same time ....anyway i had to wait 3 weeks for a refund , and only when i put a claim thru paypal........ the seller could not be bothered nor ever offered me a refund, .when i left neg feedback the seller asks if i change my bad feedback he will give me a discount on the next item i by from him....f/no!!!
.....
sorry rant over again
