whitney had everything. they were like the amazon of that era. some junk, but a lot of stuff for sure. you could buy everything to completely rebuild the old willys jeeps. bodies, fenders, etc. my brother rebuilt a couple of my dads old willys from whitneys. mcmaster carr was another one. i used their catalogs a lot when i started working in the field.

Western Auto as well.
Last couple of things I recall ordering from J.C. Whitney was a new seat cover for a mid 70's vertical twin Yamaha motorcycle and brake shoes for a Honda 'Big Red'.
Bought a replacement sealed beam headlight for the same Yamaha cycle from Western Auto.The replacement headlight was actually a Chevrolet part but was an exact match except for the branding logo and cost a good bit less than half what an original did from a Yamaha shop.
