Do any of them use the original dies? My Goodmark rockers didn't fit worth a darn.

sheet metal
My understanding is that most sheetmetal is made by Tri mark or Triplus (can't remember off hand) and repackaged for who ever resells it (ie)Goodmark.

Tiwan metal
Goodmark metal is the same as the "truck shop" metal just different box and a 50% mark up!!! Other then "new original stock", i've replaced dozens of outer rockers and have yet to find a good fit with the aftermarket pieces.

Guess the truck shop is going to get my business, they sell fenders $120, doors ($200- if Im not mistaken) at the pomona swap meet, everything is way cheaper than the catalog price

tri-plus
The Tri-Plus parts fit better than any other I've used & I've replaced at least a dozen set of rockers over the last 25 years. Their pillars & other parts fit good too.

My understanding is that when the OE manu wears out their dies, they sell them to the aftermarket. Maybe thats why nothing fits like OE!!
