Mar-K "quality" parts? yeah, right...see inside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered a "made in America" replacement front bed panel from Mar-K in Oklahoma for Project Daisycutter. After returning the first one due to a big dent in the panel, the second panel arrives, and is installed, only to find an 1/8" gap at either end where the panel snugs up under the bed rails.
There was no gap between the original bed panel and the bed rails.
I informed Mar-K of the ill-fitting panel, and sent them pics as proof.
I followed up with a couple of emails.
I'm still waiting to hear back from them

. Think I'll be waiting a long time.
If you're thinking about ordering sheet metal from them, you might want to think twice about it and try to find some good used parts...I wish I would have.

It's been nearly a month since my last email to Mar-K and still no reply.
Sent another email today. We'll see what happens.

Pick up the phone and call them. E-mails are easily ignored, a customer on the phone is not.
