Has anyone used Goodmark sheetmetal parts, particuarly there tailgate? I'm thinking of buying one and need some input.

Thanks

I have one and it is great quality, Not one of the cheap ones that have no lettering and bend when you sit on them.

I'm planning on doing the same thing this summer. Very interested in the feedback. My buddy is building a 72 SWB and has a goodmark driver's door and the quality looks great. I'm planning on getting fenders, driver's door, and tailgate from them this summer. After seeing several aftermarket sheetmetal parts I'm going with goodmark.

The Goodmark parts I've used( door/fenders/hood) are of good quality.( according to my painter) No problems bolting them on and matching them up. Would recommend them highly. IMO

I've used their tailgate, and both complete bedsides for my 2wd Blazer.The quality was excellent and overall fit was good.

With selling Goodmark parts for three years now, we have had great response and satisfation from Goodmark. They really go out of their way to help if there is a problem. Fit-rite has also been very good to work with. Even though you buy from one comapny doesn't mean that company produced it. I have ordered hoods from Fit-rite and they have been in a Goodmark box. Rocker panels for example might have three different company logos on them when they come to me. The main thing I would suggest is buy from somebody who will stand behind what they sell and will make any problems be worked out to your satisfaction.

I've got their tailgate and their bedsides on my truck. I don't think the bedsides are stamped wrong, but the profile of the tailgate doesn't match the bedsides, its out pretty bad in a couple of spots. Also, the bedsides are stamped great, but the quality of how they are put together absolutely sucks. A few pieces were spot welded in the wrong place, Several welds have already broken, alot of the welds look like they were done by some welding moron, like me

, not like what should be on these 500 dollar pannels.

I know not for a 67-72 but i bought all the chrome for a 79 Blazer and it sucks.there parts dont even line up,and match eachothers lines on grille trim,the grille is ok.Ive heard their tailgates suck,also becareful if buying there real good deals at swapmeets,real good deal for a reason.but i havent personally bolted on a goodmark fender,or bedside.im too leary to buy now.I got a "we never had a problem before"Im going for original rust free now.but maybe they have different stampings now?

Blue68 · 06-11-2002, 11:31 AM

I sent one of their core supports back a few years ago. I question whether it would even fit. The placement of the nuts and depths were off compared to stock. I did keep their inner fenders. They are pretty good. The paint is cheap, so don't leave the parts in the weather very long.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 06-11-2002, 01:40 PM

Thank you all for your input, now I'm really confused. I wont be ready for paint for another month or so, guess I keep lookin for a real tailgate.

**MikeB** · 06-11-2002, 05:44 PM

David at KingParts: You sold me. I need two cab corners and a right door lower inner panel. Are these both high quality like your tailgates? Also, on your website, the hyperlink to the door panel (#BP022-L) doesn't work. I want to make sure I order the right part. Thanks, Mike
