Fleetside Wheelhouse Source

I have just received my third junk Goodmark wheelhouse from Jeg's out of Columbus and will have to return. One (1) is almost usable but still not perfect. The other two (2) are wavy and have heavy grind marks on the forward and rear surfaces. Also, the inner sides of all three (3) are dish shaped (1/2" depth) nothing like the originals which are perfectly flat.

Goodmark is not the company I thought they were. These pieces have a decal from some other company that manufactured them in China. What is wrong with this picture?

Does anyone know of another manufacturer for these?

I may have to sandblast and repair dents/dings on my old one's but it would still take less work than trying to fix Goodmark's junk.

Call a board vendor and talk to them. I am sure they can hook you up with something decent, and they will be able to tell you if there are other options.

Yeah, I am talking about the rear inner fenders which are inside the bed (mine is wood).

These fenders have both a Goodmark and Tri-Plus decal on them. I guess Goodmark is buying from someone else, who's buying from someone else, etc.

Anyway still need to find some good one's. Maybe there is some original GM inners some where.

This is the problem he is talking about but these are not bowed. They can't seem to get the wrinkles out of the front
