Question Replacing panels - where to get good panels ??- LMC / Brothers / Classic / FillingSta

Good day truck lovers...

I need to replace the rocker panels on my truck as well as the rear corner of the cab next to rockers.

Which of the following vendors have you guys bought from or rather which of these vendors support the forum so that I may make a purchase.

I also need to know who stocks parts that are closest to OEM fit...

I have checked Brothers, LMC, Filling Station, Classic Industries etc...

Thanks....

Z

I bought rockers from Brothers (fit was good) I did see a company in Kentucky KYclassics I believe that had good pricing on panels and seem to have stock available.

Ok thanks for that, will check around.

I dont find Ky Classics, do you perhaps have a link or something?

If google cannot find it I dont think I will ever find it...

The parts I have bought from LMC over the years have all been average at best, Their pricing is no better and in most cases higher that others and I do not like their customer service.. As I said it's just my preference not to buy from them. Shipping cost will play a huge factor in your purchases so I get quotes from many. Also, I have no history with sokyclassics I simply like the smaller guy who must value his customers to stay in business. Currently my favorite and most likely will always be my fav is Travis at AZProperformance. He takes very good care of me and that means a lot to me.

I understand. I agree the smaller guys take good care of you but sometimes they are not able to offer good deals. As you say it is a matter or preference. I will check AZ out as well. Thanks

I got a Rt inner fender from LMC. It came packaged well and the quality looks fine. Fit was good and the thickness of the metal appeared same as my stock Lt inner.
