There are a few places depending on your preference.
LMCtruck.com
bobsclassicchevy.com
classicparts.com
For basic common parts for running gear and some other odds and ends I prefer summit.com and speedwaymotors.com. Thats a good start but I'm sure there are several more.

cool thanx alot man. is it rare for a 72 3/4 ton with a 350 to have a 3 speed on the tree? when i tell people what i bought the ask if i meant on the floor and mistake it for a half ton. some one almost argued with me saying 3/4 tons only come stick in floor. mine sure does look original though

The 3/4 ton trucks came with 3 speed transmissions as standard equipment. The automatic and 4 speed transmissions were available at additional cost. Most of the 3/4 ton trucks that I have seen came with the 4 speed or the TH 400 although some did come with the TH 350.
I have to believe that three speed manual transmissions with column shift were in the minority!
