Body Parts Suppliers
 

Heythere,
I'm looking to buy front fenders, inner fenders, and core support for my 67. I'm looking at LMC, Classic Industries, Classic Parts (formerly Chevy Duty), and Brothers. Does anyone have any comment on the quality from each of these guys?

They all sell about the same thing.Just ask who produces their sheetmetal.I`d suggest checking the Vendor`s list on the first page here.There are some smaller more personal businesses where you can talk to the owner.They all sell the same stuff the big guys do. Although they don`t produce every part that`s available,what Tri-Plus manufactures tends to be the better product.You can find a closer vendor to save shipping costs.

FWIW, I had to replace most of the front end (fenders, inner fenders, core support) on my '69, due to collision damage (I managed to salvage the hood).

I was really concerned about getting everything back together after hearing all the horror stories about reproduction parts.
I used all TriPlus parts and it all went back together a lot easier than I would have ever expected.
I still have some "fine tuning" to do on parts alignment, etc. But all in all, it wasn't too bad.

I got my parts from a local Chevy restoration shop. They ordered my parts with their regular stocking order. Granted, I had to wait a couple of weeks for the parts to arrive, but I saved about $300 in shipping. (2 orders)

I hope that helped you a little bit.

I have used LMC Truck for about 95% of all my body parts.

Had to replace, Raditor support, inner fender wells and both fenders for my 1967 Chevy pickup. I think the quality of parts I received from LMC are top notched. And yes you will have to pay for the $125 truck shipping charges that go with these over sized pieces.

But your not going to find these body panels in the salvage yards in near paint ready status! i.e. you get what you pay for these days!

Good Luck.
