Re: Best fiberglass panels 69 c10?????
From what I've read on this forum posted by guys that have bought fiberglass body panels, I wouldn't recommend any of them, especially US Body. Try doing a search for posts by twiggythedrummer and Super73. those are just a couple.

Re: Best fiberglass panels 69 c10?????
I have a cowl hood from Unlimited Products, its no peach either. Not half as bad as Twiggys, i think i can use mine. After some surgery anyways.... Its a shame for what this junk cost(s), you'd swear this **** is coming from China. The fit is poor at best. Maybe thats glass parts in general??? I don't know....

Re: Best fiberglass panels 69 c10?????
What year of truck?
You could use parts that are available from either of the popular sources if you didn't care too much how they look. Quote:

Re: Best fiberglass panels 69 c10?????
You might do some research and find out who might have Creative Glassworks' molds. I thought about trying to get in touch with some one with grave digger to find out if they know where the molds went. Creative use to do all the bodies for grave digger.
