Any of the vendors, myself included sell quality parts. Keep in mind ALL parts will require adjustment to make them fit like a new car. 73-87 trucks were NOT know for great body gaps.

Thanks!!! I haven't restored anything for about 12 years and the doors that I bought didn't even come close and I ended up buying GM doors.Now I understand you can't find OEM body parts and if you do you will pay through the nose!!!!!!!! I found a OEM bed side for $1200.00,I thought that was a little hi!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
