body panel suggestions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

allthrottle,nobottle · 01-30-2010, 03:40 PM

i got into a small "fender bender" with my 1972 c10 stepside.

i need to replace the front passenger fender, the grill, the chrome trim that goes around the grill, and the small chrome trim the goes around the headlight.

where is the best place to get these parts from? i am mostly concerned with them fitting correctly and the price.

I would suggest supporting those who support the board, AKA the site vendors. Here's the link, just scroll down to the vendors.

good suggestion, but which ones sell the parts i need that will fit properly on my truck?

most all vendors sell the same parts as there are not that many that make these parts...... so tweaking and fitment will be required

If you are worried about fit (you should be), use NOS parts. In fact, your best bet would be to have your parts straightened. If you take them to a body shop, you may find that the cost will be on par with replacement.

In my experience, all the body panels are made by the same chinese company. Dynacorn. http://www.dynacorn.com/site/sqlcart...chevy%20pu.pdf
