Re: Rusty c10
First off, welcome to the board from Arkansas! I went through the same deal with my grandfather's C10. I've used sheetmetal from a few different vendors.
For bed parts (header panel, roll pan, tailgate cross sills, bolt kit) I used Mar-K. My cab corners, inner/outer rockers, inner foot well patches, lower door hinge pockets, and door bottoms came from Classic Parts. Front inner fenders and rear wheel housings came from SOKY Classics. I hear GMC Paul's has good sheetmetal too, but I haven't gotten any from him, I did however, buy a set of rear springs and a transmission crossmember from him. All have been easy to deal with and the quality is good on everything listed above. No complaints so far.
