I've used Kanter many times over the years. It's been a few since I have used them but I never had a bad experience with them.

Kanter is a very reputable supplier.

I used Kanter for front end parts for my 62. One of the lower ball joints was machined incorrectly. I called them, explained the problem, and spoke to a very helpful person who measured the parts they had on the shelf. We agreed that the one I had was incorrect. They had replacements on my doorstep in two days. No complaints at all.

Ordered 330 pistons from them because Egge was out of stock. Price was higher than Egge. They arrived without issue in an EGGE box.

Kind of like the Fusick motor mounts that arrive in the Anchor box for 10X the RockAuto price. I don't know that I'd ever buy engine parts from Kanter, but my experience with their suspension parts has been good.

When I rebuilt the front end on my 55' the kit was from Kanter, no issues. However I had to get some of the rubber parts (bushings etc) from Fusick.
