LMC Step Side Bedsides and fenders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blkcorvair · 08-30-2011, 08:50 PM

Anyone have anything (Good or Bad) to report on the stepside Bed Sides and Fenders????

They have free truck freight over $1000. Only reason Im thinking of using them...

There are still good OEM fenders out there, you just have to look for them and buy a piece at a time. I have a repro tailgate and doors though and honetly the fit and quality is not really that bad. If I can find good OEM stuff though I will probably be replacing them. It's really tough to find a good stepper tailgate though.

I would use Mar-K hands down! I have a set on my 68, and they were excellent in specs and quality! I agree with CC69Rat on the fenders. I will not buy anything from LMC!!! JUNK!! IMO

Mine were great from classicparts.com

None of these places can lay claim to these fenders. They only sell what someone else made. What you need to do is find out who sells what and go from there. Find out which manufacturer is the best option for the part you need,then find the best vendor who sells that part (hint:not LMC). Your best bet is someone who specializes in these trucks and got into it because they like them as much as you. Mar-K makes and sells their own parts,but they don't do fenders.

Did what I felt was right. Ordered it all from Top Bannana tonight. And than some. He has 10% off that expires today.

Doesn't Tim own Top Bannana? I'm sure he'll take good care of you on it.

Did not know that!

Also They just calld. They ont have the Left Side Stepside fender in stock! Ugh! Anyone got a Solid Drivers fender out there?

**CC69Rat** · 09-01-2011, 04:50 PM

I would consider the left side to be the driver's side. Maybe you need a pass side? I looked all over the place for mine but it is really solid. Good luck man.

I found a set a while back on the bay, and they were NOS! Holding off will give you some time to find a nice set.
