A must see "Mar-K" packaging - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just had to share this with you guys. I spent about $1200 last month on body trim for my "68" 71 SWB and I got half the parts from Early Classic and half from Mar-K. The parts showed up about 3 days after ordering from EC and they came in your normal cardboard box (no damage but it would not have taken much), then today I got my parts from Mar-K. It was boxed in normal CardBoard but had a full wood frame to it for protection and egg foam top and bottom. It is this kind of detail that I feel is over the top! I guess when you make most of your own parts in house you want to protect then with as much care as you do when you make them. Anyways thats it just wanted to share with everyone what I came home to.

Kevin,

I just ordered all my mouldings today after spending about and hour on the phone asking a million question. The customer service was outstanding and the sales reps were very knowledgable! I've bought 2 step side beds from them before and they were top notch. In the future, if they have something I need, they will be my first place to shop.

How is the quailty of the trim? I am going to order it before it goes off sale at the end of the month.

It seems great! I went out and checked one of the front fender trims to my stock one and it is a dead match! Finish is nice as well.

That's what I want to hear. I hope to be the first with 67-68 trim on a blazer.

Got front bed panel from them 2-3 years ago, it shipped in a heavy duty box with a wood frame inside the box, packaged real nice.

I used to work with the owners brother and he was just as clean and sincere on everything he did.

Not to mention they support the board.

Wow, I was hoping this wasn't going to be one of those pics where all the trim was bent or busted up, I have a lot of respect for Mar-K. A good buddy of mine put a new wood floor in his stepside and it was shipped and packaged nice and they were very clear in all their instructions and materials.............Jerry

They make good stuff and almost if not all in house. I glad I am only 45 minutes away on the other side of town.
