67-72 drip rail from Brothers
Hello,
Has anyone used the drip rail above the doors from Brothers for a 67-72 c10? LMC sent me one and it is so far off the mark it's a wonder they even offer it. I need one for the passenger side. Thanks.

I just got one from Ecklers and it's garbage. It fits up but is almost 1/8" shorter than the original. I would need to trim the front edge all the way across the windshield in order to match the replacement. I think it was a goodmark product, I will check the box when i get home.

Sounds just like the one I got from LMC, terrible reproduction.

Re: 67-72 drip rail from Brothers
Mine from RockAuto (Goodmark) worked but it needed massaged a bit...for repro I would give it a B-. Nowhere near as bad as my DS lower door, my PS lower door fit perfectly (both from Goodmark). I heard the cab corners are the worst though and haven't got into that yet. My bedsides from Goodmark fit pretty well really.

Re: 67-72 drip rail from Brothers
We have these listed on our website as

1967-72 Cab Roof Drip Rail

The description we provide of the part is as follows

NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLY 1 MANUFACTURER MAKES THESE AND THEY ARE BEING MADE INCORRECTLY

We of course do have a price or add to cart button on this part because in our opinion they aren't worth selling. Every retailer Knows of the issue with these.

Don’t do it. Lol. I bought a set from brothers and they’re bad. I tried for hours to try and get it to look decent. I ended up shaving them.

As GMC Paul stated, all are from the same manufacturer. Who sells it makes no difference.
