Aftermarket door shells

[General23cmp]

I know it has been asked before, but I’m looking for recent experience of the quality of shells on the market. I know AMD, KeyParts, and Goodmark sells complete door skins. I purchased lower inner door panels from AMD, and they were junk. The KeyParts one I ordered was almost an exact copy of the original (Very good). The KeyParts doors are more expensive, but if better than the AMD in the same ways as the lower panel was, it’d be great.

Anyone have any recent experience? Thanks.

Also interested if anyone has any recent feedback, but from what I've read, go with the Key Parts doors. I'm planning to buy a set for my Blazer in a couple months and I will be going with Key Parts.

Here is a more recent thread with some info. Near the end there is a comment that the Key Part door fit good.

I bought a pair from LMC for my '67 build and had them painted an installed before I found some really good OEM doors.
Honestly, they fit but not as well as I had hoped. The biggest issue I ran into was the upper window frame, it's not exactly in the correct location in relation to the door frame in the cab and the windows did not fit properly.
When I put the vent windows and the glass in, the window contacted the inside of the door frame at the back and would not go all the way up. I ended up belt sanding (with great difficulty) almost 1/8" of the glass to make it fit.
I believe they were Key Parts doors. I bought them because I had gotten my stepside fenders from LMC and they were very nice...APEC brand.

Now this has been a few years back I did a 70 model and the customer wanted new doors . I took a pair he had bought cant remember the name on the box but I could not even shut one of the doors. I was WAY too tall I figured I had messed up somewhere putting in the rockers but everything was right on the cab and measured out great. I bolted his old doors on fit great, so I went to put in the vent glass and the screw holes were way off. I ended up removing the upper door hoop and putting it down in the door something crazy like an inch and a half. I got it in place and welded it back up body worked it and it turned out great. Lots of extra work but it is just work. Remember it is called body work, not body fun. Jim

How recent was the Key Part doors? They redid tooling on their inner door patches recently, and they’re spot on. Was hoping the whole door was, too.
