Anybody have experience with aftermarket wheel tubs?
Like these?
http://www.topbananaparts.com/servle...y-truck/Detail My wheel tubs are in pretty rough shape and I was wondering how the fit on these are? My experience with Keyparts products has been hit-or-miss.

I believe I got mine from brothers and I'm very happy with them.

Re: Anybody have experience with aftermarket wheel tubs?
I have the ones from Top Banana and they fit fine. I used them to make a wider set using them along with a 3" wide section off my factory ones and the match up was very good.

I just installed a set of the LMC tubs and they fit like crap. The actual sheetmetal itself was great, but the square holes for the carriage bolts were mis-stamped... inconsistently in different direction.

Re: Anybody have experience with aftermarket wheel tubs?
Thanks for the input, guys. I've had way worse luck with LMC than I have with TopBanana and will probably order the tubs from them in then next month or so.

Re: Anybody have experience with aftermarket wheel tubs?
No problem.. I'm far from happy with LMC right now. Tailgate I got is an absolute abortion. Lower seam not welded, the tabs that go into the bed and are used for the chains when gate is lowered are off 1/4" from one side to the other. Of course this is noticed after one side of the gate is painted. It's going to cost as much to fix the gate as it did to buy it. I've got a call in to them, and we will find out their true colors quickly. On the other hand, the other parts I've ordered from Mar-K have all fit EXCEPTIONALLY well

My issues with LMC were the 3 passenger side windows that were incorrect before I got a right-sized one.
