sheet metal
Ok I know some of you all have used sheet metal from different companies. Is goodmark one of the better companies? Is the metal gage thick enough? I need many, actually most of the sheet metal for a 63 c10 short bed.
Thanks Ernest |

Re: sheet metal
I have not bought any complete fenders, but I bought repair panels thru Top Banana and was pleased with the fit and thickness of the metal.

Re: sheet metal
Ditto. The only patch panel that I've encountered thus far from them that didn't match the original was the rear cab support. I had to narrow one end of it and rework the angle of the outer flanges to match/fit correctly. Otherwise, I've been pleased with the fit and thickness of their patch panels so far on my build.

Re: sheet metal
Have bought panels from both Classic Parts and LMC. The Classic Parts panels are 18 gauge and did not fit well. One outside floor replacement panel was 1 inch short on the front side. I would agree that any aftermarket parts are a start only. Plan on trimming and bending. My next purchase will be from Top Banana based on comments on this forum. I am also going to buy my bed from Mar-K.

Re: sheet metal
I have used doors from Goodmark for a 1972 pick up and they fit like socks on a chicken.
I have had really good luck with Mar-K for bed panels. I am curious about fenders myself for my 64. Be prepared to "fit" what ever you buy and where ever you buy it from. Most of the aftermarket sheet metal does need a little work to fit correctly. |
