Re: Repop core support opinions

I've used one many years ago on my stepside and had no problems. I just bought another for my wrecker project but haven't installed it. I paid $160 and picked it up at a car show to save the shipping.

To me they feel like good quality.

Re: Repop core support opinions

I have one sitting in my carport right now waiting for the time when i start to bolt the fenders back in for body alignment. I have yet to bolt anything to it but i will say that it is a nicely built and solid piece. From what i have read, they may need a little trimming or holes egged, but they seem to fit fine otherwise.
