Anyone ever used new Aftermarket Tri-Plus Doors?

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has ever used the new tri-plus or goodmark complete doors? How did they fit? Any comments are appreciated. You don't need to tell me to "Just get some good old doors"...I know I can do that...I am just curious if anyone has tried the fitment of the Goodmark doors?

Just hung a couple of doors from "the truck shop". They fit ok but---the old doors had the hung about a 1/4 inch forward of the new doors. So now I have to re-hang the door hinges on the pillars as the new doors are a little too far forward. If I pulled the fenders, and adjusted the hinges on the pillars, I think the new doors would hang perfect.

I have a set from GMC Paul and they fit pretty good. The only complaint i have is the gap from the window frame to the cab, the gap gets a little wide for my taste. Other than that great fit.

I have seen good ones and Junk ones form tri plus. Depends on who was on the line I guess.The window opening is the main problem thats hard to fix. I would advise to buy local if possible and hopfuly have a good shop that is willing to let you try a couple of diffirent doors if the first set dont fit right.

They're probably like any other part, if they were built on a Monday everyone at the plant is still hung over and if they were built on a Friday everyone is in a hurry to go home for the weekend.

Wednesday is hump day. The worse day. You're already tired and you have 2 more to go. Calvin told me they usually fit good but gets a bad one every once in a while. Sorta like the cowl hoods.
