Aftermarket Inner Fenders

Been looking to replace my OEM inner fenders (complete with rust holes along the front lip) and in-laws came through this holiday with "spend $x as our gift to you". I had LMC inners on my list of items to pick up someday, but have heard of questionable quality out of their camp as of the last few years. Anyone have recent experience with their fender fitment? Should I look elsewhere or are they all essentially the same? I can't imagine there's too many manufacturers for these anymore.

Thanks!

I used an OER brand RH inner fender on my 1970 Blazer. I had zero fitment issues.

Be aware that some companies insist shipping these truck freight AT $150

Jegs shipped mine Fed-Ex Ground, but soon afterwards changed their shipping method.

Re: Aftermarket Inner Fenders

Not sure what company stamped them, but I have used inner fenders from Classic Heartbeat and they have fit pretty dang good.

I've never used LMC for any body panels.

I bought two sheetmetal parts from LMC, both in 2018. One was the RH bedside for my Blazer, and the other was a hood for my 1972 Cheyenne. The bedside is a Woodall, the hood is Key parts.

Re: Aftermarket Inner Fenders

We just installed new front inner fenders from LMC on a '72. Took just the slightest amount of pushing but I would say that they fit nicely. Look very good.

I bought inner fenders for my '70 from the Truck Shop. Quality and fitment are excellent.

Re: Aftermarket Inner Fenders

I purchased my front wheel wells at the Carlisle swap meet in Pa. It was about for years ago, for my 67. Not sure of the brand, the location of was spot was next to the grandstand a big lot of after market sheet metal parts.
Biggest problem I had was with the left wheel well support bracket only three of the four bolt line up, seen this same problem on a truck at a car show.

Re: Aftermarket Inner Fenders

I bought some a while back for my '67 build. I bought parts from so many different places that I can't remember where I got them,
and my order histories don't go back that far. I think it was AMD.
Anyway, they fit OK and all the bolt holes lined up except the back one that goes straight up into the bottom side of the fender on the driver's side.
It was off almost the full hole. All the others pulled up nice and tight.
I ended up just leaving it out and living with it.
