If you supply all of the parts to a vendor who then installs the gears for you, I will bet you sign a disclaimer that they are not responsible because you supplied all of the parts.

It is cheap insurance (and good vendor relations) to let you vendor buy the parts of their choice. They will be much more inclined to stand behind their work.

And, they already know where to get the parts.

And, if they get something that doesn't fit, they will replace it.

You will probably pay the same from them as you would pay from someone else. They will get to make a few dollars also.

Give them the phone number for St Charles Isuzu and have them source any Isuzu parts there. They will probably be cheaper than the local Isuzu place.

Another thing, if you pick your vendor and get a work order going (with a credit card) they may order the parts before you tear you rig apart. This would be less down time for you.
