Suburban patch panel source

What company is the best source for all Suburban patch panels? Additionally, I was looking at doing one of the full front floor replacements. Would I be better off getting a truck one or a blazer version? Benefit I see using the blazer version is the step up panel can be cut off and used to patch my Suburban step up panel.

Re: Suburban patch panel source

In my experience having replaced rockers, kick panels and lower 1/4 panels sections on trucks and burbans, KeyParts has the best quality and closest fit to the oem panels.
As far as the floor section, I would choose the Blazer floor hands down, for the burban floor replacement. It's as close as you can get. Also, if the burban rear wheel arch needs replaced I would choose the Blazer section that goes all the way down.
It's to hard to get all the style lines to align when fitting front and rear lower burban sections with the wheel arch replacement section.

Re: Suburban patch panel source

My guess is you probably used Wes when you lived up here, have you given him a call?
