Hate to dissapoint you but you're gonna find most of the repro stuff good bad or otherwise is offshore.

I don't know if they make much in way of truck sheet metal but I have always had good luck with items made by American Designers. They are a Canadian company whose parts are made in Canada. Our friends to north have always provided good sheet metal for me in the past.

"American Designers. They are a Canadian company whose parts are made in Canada. Our friends to north have always provided good sheet metal for me in the past."

Um yah that company name makes sense ?!?!?

What I would love to see is a 1 piece front to rear floor pan, even if it is for the first 8 inches in from the door.

Who sells them around our parts Gee Emm.

Only the people in my dreams.

You can get regular patch panels at Pro and maybe Walker

The best rocker I have ever seen was one I got in Iowa. Putting it next to one I got at Pro was a night and day difference. I don't remember the brand though.

Acutally, it makes a lot of sense. Canada shares North America with the United States.

Well maybe I'll go see Reg one day... only talk to him about twice a year. I send people to him... cause Ive seen his aftermarket stuff for lenses and the shiny things he sells at swap meets. I still prefer used to the off shore.
