I had good luck buying from Capt Kaos also. His parts are from Goodmark, or at least they were about 8 years ago.

Re: Best place to buy rocker panels and cab corners?
I just bought some pieces from Keystone since they deliver to my shop. They feel like good heavy pieces, and the ones I've installed so far fit well.

Re: Best place to buy rocker panels and cab corners?
I got my inner/outer rockers & cab corners from Goodmark. The outer cab corners were an absolute joke, not even remotely close to fitting. I spent hours on each side just to make them usable. The rest of the parts were great and fit really nice, but those cab corners really pissed me off.

Re: Best place to buy rocker panels and cab corners?
I meant how to get ahold of the site vendors. I need a driver's side rear cab corner for a 1973 standard cab. The fenders are in kinda rotten shape too but I can wait on those till spring, or maybe just replace the whole fenders but I do want to take care of the cab this year if possible.

Re: Best place to buy rocker panels and cab corners?
Tri plus parts are the heaviest on the market they fit good but a little hard to trim w/ hand snips.

Re: Best place to buy rocker panels and cab corners?
I got my stuff from LMC before I was a site member. The rockers and cab corners fit well, BUT, the rear panel for the rockers was way off, had to make my own. Floor panels and cab supports were also good. Metal seems to be of good thickness and well constructed.
