Key Parts feedback?

I am finally ready to do the rust repair on my 71. Key Parts has a combo kit 0849-001 which includes both inner rocker w/ floor patch, both outers, cab corner, and lower panels for A & B pillars. 10 pieces in all.

Any one used this kit? Quality?

I can get the kit shipped for $280 which is a big saving vs buying individual parts.

Appreciate any feedback

Re: Key Parts feedback?

You will well satisfied. I have used all of there parts and was in the parts business for 25 years always had good luck and customers also. Any questions for key parts board member Tim Christian works for them and is very knowledgable. But with everything always might have a small issue or different opinions

Re: Key Parts feedback?

I can tell you from experience that their outer rocker panels are of good quality and fit well with very little "persuading".

Re: Key Parts feedback?

The best repro option out there in my opinion. You'll be happy with them. GMCPauls is where I usually get mine. Summit carries their stuff too.

Re: Key Parts feedback?

Is there a link to their [Key Parts] website or Summit part numbers?
GMC Paul is a great vendor, but his website is primative...
