NEW Polished Diff Covers Pitted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bought polished aluminum diff covers for the 14 bolt and 60 - showed up today and I am dissapointed in the quality of the polishing. They aren't horrible but when looking at them up close you can see very small pitting. Is anyone running these covers?? I feel since I ordered them from Summit for $85 I might have got factory seconds instead of spending the $122 from 4 wheel parts Wholesale???

Should I try and finish polishing them? If so how?

Not yet but was considering it. I was going to look in person at the covers @ the Waterloo, Il swapmeet this Sunday. Usually good turn out of stuff with reasonable prices. I like to see what I am paying for.

I agree with what you are saying, but If I return them and purchase the more expensive covers from 4 Wheel Parts Wholesale will I end up with the same product for more $$$. The covers are identical, just dont know about the finish qaulity.

I will talk to Summit sometime this morning, jsut wondering if anyone has the same covers and have inspected them closely.

Should be depending on the rain..Hrs of walking..both vendors and lots of left over stuff..not as big as gateway swap meet but close to it.
