I've had the best luck with Goodmark Industries as have several others on the forum. But I agree with the above....if they don't fit send them back.

How are TRI-PROAUTOMOTIVE door shells? I need two...

Chevelle454 · 06-27-2007, 12:52 PM

I bought outer fenders from CertiFit and didn't like them. The holes did not want to match up for the inner fenders at all and the outer grill required making the holes oblong...what a pain. You get what you pay for I guess ($75 each).

how about thickness on rockers from one to another

If you ever use a Tri-Plus brand rocker like we sale you would throw all the others away.

Can't spec for their rockers, but Tri-Plus '67 front fenders fit as well as any OEM one I have ever dealt with.

Hey DAC
We have sold them also. They were/are the same gauge. I have their panels on my 65 c10. They are not any better than TriPlus as far as quality or installing them. We sell TriPlus Panels just like everyone else. When it came down to it we had to sell the Tabco Panels for the same price as TriPlus cause no one wanted to pay a higher price.
