Best body parts?
Who carries the best body parts. I'm specifically interested in floor pans, inner and outer rockers, cab corners and the such. Later on I'll probably consider a new fender, but I'll try to go NOS if I can. I'm willing to pay more for the parts if they are better quality. Good fit and finish is important. Thanks!

Re: Best body parts?
Well every company that Manufactures the parts gets them from the same company in China. So it doesnt really matter much. I shop by price these days.

Re: Best body parts?
Tri-Pro seems to be pretty good. The owner is a member here ans site supporter, and stands behind his products. They make a complete 1 piece floor that is very nice. He is building his own truck with the Tri-Pro parts. Here is the build thread:

Re: Best body parts?
All the parts are made by a few companies,not just one.If Tri-Plus makes a part,it is better quality.That is what Tri-Pro distributes.No one company produces every part that the others make.
It`s best to talk to a vendor and ask what he sells and get an honest answer on quality comparisons.So,talk to a vendor you can trust.If you don`t already have one,the site sponsoring vendors are the way to go.There are a couple companies making a few parts in the USA,Mar-K and Tabco.
