Repro rockers, who makes the best???

I am looking for a good fitting outer rocker. The pair that I have fit like crap at the front & rear pillars. They are made in Tiawan I beleive... How well do the Goodmark/TriPlus ones fit? Don't want to spend a fortune for GM ones...

Any help would be great...

Thanks!
Joe

I am not sure but I would venture tos say since goodmark parts are GM liscensed I would say that they are pretty good.

I'm installing some tri-plus ones in my 69 Burb next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: Repro rockers, who makes the best???

I started with a set Tri Plus....eventually junked them and got a set from GMC Pauls. His fit correct, and are the correct gage steel. I believe the manufacturer was Key Parts or something. Don't really matter who makes them, they work though.

Many others on this board have recommended his...I searched several threads. His also are no more expensive than the others.
My $.02

Save yourself the headach by GM they cost more but fit exellent .I think tere $65 apiece at www.gmpartsdirect. Or better yet buy from one of the venders that support the board.

Thats the problem I'm having... My drivers side one fits like crap where it gets spot welded to the A & B pillars... Especially the A pillar. The pass side one fits better & I don't want to spend the $$$ for a GM pass side one as I have to cut it up to put it in a burb(burbs pass rocker is different at the B pillar)
