Some of my goodmark parts came from triplus. The fenders were too short.

Re: need advise on good qauitly body panel

You would be ok with brothers, but I always use classic parts. They are cheaper and charge alot less shipping.

Re: need advise on good qauitly body panel

I have bought from several places and I am not sure what to think on the quality question. Some things don't matter as much as others and I don't worry about it. Others do matter and I worry about it, but it's hard to know unless you buy the same thing from all of them and you don't want to do that. I know these guys aren't making their own stuff and most of it they are buying the same of and some of it there are three sources out there. For example, Mar-K sells some of their stuff to some of the other truck companies, but those companies don't want to tell you that. Tuckers sold me a poor quality fender and when I was pushing them for who made it they told me it was tri-plus and they have two other sources as well. I know one of them is dynacorn. I got inner fenders from goodmark to replace the ones that I got from Tuckers, but the body shop ended up using the ones from Tucker's that I thought were bad because they weren't as bad as the goodmark ones. I know I am not being alot of help here, but I have been so disappointed on quality, other than Mar-K, that I just buy the cheapest one and that seems to be Classic parts. However, I have been disappointed on items from them too. I just know that no matter what I have ever looked at, Brother's has had the highest shipping prices.

Re: need advise on good qauitly body panel

All of these parts, regardless of where purchased, come from the same 2 or 3 suppliers in Taiwan. They will all require some type of work to install, wether it be simple as in elongating bolt holes, or sometimes more involved where you have to re-work the entire piece. I would get the best value for your dollar.

Re: need advise on good qauitly body panel

Check out these guys. This was linked by another member here a couple weeks ago. Their parts are supposed to be high quality made in the USA. I don't know if they are Tabco parts or not. I will likely give them a try the next time I need a body panel.
