New Here/Rocker Panel Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blue64 · 04-02-2009, 06:51 PM

Hey, I’m new here. I just received my first truck for an early High School Graduation gift. This was my poppas that he gave to my dad for graduation. It’s a 64 Chevy

short wheal fleet side. That my dad and I are going to restore. My question is, dose LCM have good replacement panels? Meaning dose the door still shut proper and stuff like that?

If you know of a place that carries better replacements it will be greatly apperated.

Thanks,
Shane(blue64)

it took me longer to figure out what you were asking than to think of a response. seriously, type something worth reading. everyone will be glad to help you, but you have to have enough sense to communicate like a human being.

Dirtygrunt · 04-02-2009, 07:31 PM

Dang I thought only women got pms

But for your question blue the replacement panels I got from LMC fit nice I haven't used their doors just the rockers and cab corners hope this helps

blue64 · 04-02-2009, 07:32 PM

Thanks, for the advice.

Blue 64, welcome to the board from southern Indiana! I understood your question.

You'll find there aren't many responses like your first welcoming one. This is a great group of guys. They not only help, they follow up to see how it is going. Be forwarned....they REALLY like pictures!

Maybe you should re-read the rules you agreed to when you signed up on this forum. Your post is completely uneeded and doesn't help the OP with his question at all. Please keep comments like these to yourself.

thank you

But to the topic on hand, welcome to the board.
Someone with more experience will probably chime in, but I would see if you get get the panels somewhere else, as LMCs prices are usually outrageous. I imagine replacement sheetmetal is only made by a handful of manufacturers, so you could probably get the same exact stuff a little cheaper somewhere else, but I could be wrong.

The guy to ask though would be LILRED66.

in retrospect, ya i suppose that was a bit harsh.

daverod · 04-02-2009, 09:53 PM

At least he's going to graduate.

Just learn to use the spell check and you'll be ok

Alan's Classic · 04-02-2009, 09:55 PM

There's usually not any issues that I know of when it comes to outer rocker replacement. They fit up really nice. The problems arise when you go into the floor pan. Go thru my build and you will see what problems I ran into.

Strodder · 04-02-2009, 10:18 PM

Welcome aboard blue64. Just ask when you need help. We're here for you. I can't spell for crap either. I use spell check a lot.

blue64 · 04-03-2009, 12:44 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice. I can't type or spell half of the time. hahah.

neto · 04-03-2009, 07:52 PM

Welcome aboard. I'm also doing the rockers on my wifes 65. The drivers side is done and I just took a break from putting the door on the passengers side to check for clearance. A great post to follow is Alan's Classic build thread.

LMC does not make any panels.They purchase from a variety of suppliers Just like we do They do sell TriPlus parts but sell from other MFG's also. Nothing wrong with their parts any more than anyone elses. We have installed alot of doors but ony one drivers side on a 65 and it fit and latched ok. Sorry no pics we sold it beforer it was finished. You can get alot better prices from buying from a board vendor here than the larger companies
