Re: body parts
I bought my doors from brothers. They sell different brands. I would say you can buy reproduction stuff from just about any vendor. I have not had any real problems with mine. My whole truck (minus the cab) is reproduction body parts. There are plenty of guys selling stuff on the east coast, too. So, you might want to consider that...shipping can be a little steep on body parts.
And, Welcome to the board from the National Training Center!

Re: body parts
Since your in Kentucky look Christians Classics, GMC Pauls etc. Shippin' from out west will be high. Tim Christian is in TN and Paul in the mid west. Both are standup guys and are willin' to help.

Re: body parts
i went to brothers to buy fleet bed sides and they were great i went there to avoid shipping charges , they brought the parts out to me and we inspected every part rite there before i paid , one of the bed sides had a slight dent ,so they replaced it with a perfect one i liked this attention to detail , and i have recieved stuff that was packaged poorly from lmc in the past and was damaged because of the way they packaged it . just my 2 cents.

Re: body parts
If you are located in eastern ky around the ashland, flatwoods area then
try chevy dukes. He is located in flatwoods and he is a nice guy to deal with. |
