Best place to get sheetmetal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Scrubby · 11-03-2003, 12:22 AM

I need the driver's side floor and a couple other pieces of sheetmetal for my '71 jimmy. What is the best place to order from?

Also, do they make a patch panel for the lower front fenders? Looks like mine were cut by the original bumper or something.

There is a lower rear front fender patch available, its not 100% exact though, there is a approx. 1/8" wide rolled bead on the wheel arch opening edge thats not found on the reproduction patch panel so in order to achieve a 100% original look installed you need to use a bead roller to make this indentation on the panel otherwise form & fit are correct. Thanks for the recommendation Chip hows the Blazer coming??? Sure these guys would love to see pics of the rocker box install & new doors.

Oops I commented on the rear section you were referring to the front fender cup, this parts 100% correct and has the rolled bead. It is however available for only the right front side.

LOL Chip I know all about self-employed and having little extra time, my day started at 11pm last night, was able to do some web site updates, add several new products to site and pictures, downloaded online orders, updated ebay auctions, and balanced the ledger so far, still have inventory to take, parts orders to place with suppliers, a large delivery to make about 2 hours away plus pull and ship a dozen or so orders. I'm glad its a slow day

The cups are due in Wed. , Thursday at latest. Glad to hear your busy!!!!
