I guess this is what I was trying to ask originally, I just didn’t word my question properly. Are these parts actually made by GM or are they outsourced through another vender (sounds like this is the case). If they are outsourced, are they the exact same as something you can get from an independent distributor like the ones here on the board?

If you put in chevy, truck, 72, and body components, then look down the page you will see inner fenders, rocker panels, chrome mirrors, etc…

Re: GM Parts Availability

I would guess it is GM stuff, haven't bought anything yet. Not sure if it is NOS or NS, guess you ask them!! J.

Re: GM Parts Availability

So what about the stuff they list as OEM or NOS? What do the board vendors have to say about this? Is this just old stuff that has been laying around unopened for 30 years? Or is it stuff gm has licesened for other to make and sell as oem quality? Also where is all the sheet metal and grille stuff made at today? Is it all overseas junk? Can I buy american made parts for it?

GMC is the OEM. I'll see if I can find the phone number again
Classic Ind. lists their parts as GM Restoration Parts. Tabco is American made, Ohio. Can't answer the rest...

I've been using Goodmark on all of the sheet metal so far, bought the last rocker panel from Tabco. Metal is heavier, and it seems to fit quite well. No issues, so for strength alone, I'd go with Tabco.....jmho
