Copperhead "Cop-out"! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just watched today's show. All the hype about ECE's great repro parts and they then used NOS fenders and nice ORIGINAL GM doors. They weren't going to use that import repro stuff in those two areas of this nice truck. Of course we would like to see someone take on those two tough parts and see what it really takes to make them fit right. Stacey did say it takes extra work to make repro parts work---so they didn't use them. Half of the doors I sell come back. The guys just don't know how to make them fit---or it is just too much work. They go back to originals and fix them.
It looked like he put the 69-72 thick rad support bushings on with the 67 CS & fenders. Shouldn't that sit too high in front? 67 used a thin rubber spacer.
