HELP! what replacement panels are worth using

I just received me order from LMC truck. I guess I opted for the NFL delivery. so what wasent bent or dented is TERRIBLE. I ordered right rear lower bed side, right front lower bed side and they look to have been made in a sheet metal. break. The rear corner is HORRIBLE and does not even match.
Whos got the right stuff? I need rockers cab corners and right bed sides.
Thanks

Another Utah Member, MAC71 just picked up a donor cab with one of his projects. Not sure what his plans are, but the cab is super clean. Find him and ask him, maybe he will part out

Re: HELP! what replacement panels are worth using

Check out the Vendor Marketplace. There are several vendors there that sell quality parts and their advertising helps keep the board solvent.

Angry Re: HELP! what replacement panels are worth using

Ah shoot ~

The most basic thing is to always ask before buying : where is it made ? if not American at best it'll be cheapo tin foil , most need serious work to fit at all .

I'm bummed because my old cab had PERFECT corners and I told him not to junk it but he cut it up and tossed everything but the perfect roof , dammit .

I would have GIVEN AWAY those perfect , no rust original paint inside & out corners because I know how hard they can be to come by .

For bed parts , Mar-K is the very best there is ~ American made and top quality that fits and is the proper gauge steel etc.


They sell direct too , no need to pay extra ' handling charges ' to your favorite Parthsaus .

N.O.S. rockers come up on board here quite often. I would recommend you ask around for some.

Sweet I will check these sources. I was unaware we made ANYTHING anymore. N.O.S. usually means insanity pricing for seconds the factory didnt want to put on a vehicle?.
