LMC Body Panels?

Has anyone bought bedsides, fenders, tailgates etc. from lmc trucks before? If so, are they worth buying, solid, or are they cheaply made?

If the $99 tailgate is anything like the cheap tailgates available elsewhere it's made of very thin metal and bends easily... Like you can't stand on it or it will bow and flex and eventually crease and crack.

You might try Tabco. I ordered some parts from them a while back l, they were good thick quality sheet metal.

Re: LMC Body Panels?

I bought inner fenders from them... Got em painted em pit em on and 2 minutes later put em in the scrap pile. No fender bolts lined up, only 1 cab bolt and 2 core support bolts. Really bad decision on my part to buy em.

Yeah I know what you mean. It hard to find quality parts online if you can't find any locally like you said. If anyone knows of other sites that have better parts please let me know
