Re: New 1960-66 swb fleetside bed kits!

Are all the bed parts (front bed panel, all bed cross sills and reinforcement strip) from LMC? Will you be using a reproduction tail gate from them as well? How about the left front fender, how is the quality and fit? I will also assume it is from LMC?

None of these parts came from LMC. These are parts we use on all of our shop builds that we just started selling to the public. We are using one of our aftermarket Chevrolet tailgates. I installed the tailgate yesterday and it bolted right up without any problems. I will post pictures tomorrow. The fender is one of our fenders as well. If you have any questions give us a call at the shop.

Really, the boxes in the first picture clearly say LMC on them and have their part number on them 38-9370-T left bedside and 38-9371-T right bed side?

None of these parts come from LMC. Some of our parts come from the same vendor as LMC. We also get parts in boxes that say Wood-all, Muscle Car GT, Key Parts, and Tri Plus. This is the problem with this board these days. Every time someone tries to help someone with first hand experience on parts that fit and parts that have problems someone that knows EVERYTHING jumps in and tries to disprove everything said.

If you just want to rant about suppliers and who does or does not make this part or that part. Why don't you start your own thread with your opinions. DeWayne Morgan at Nsane Hot Rodz is a stand up guy that does some amazing work and your comments about "busted" and what he should or should not do are unfair.

Agreed 200%. Don't know DeWayne at all, but from what I have seen on here, he seems pretty straight forward. I seriously doubt he was trying to fool anyone. Go buy your parts from another supplier if it really bothers you so much.

I think everyone who has spent any time looking into these trucks at all knows that there are only a few suppliers for sheet metal. Maybe we can take this as testimony that the parts fit well instead of trying to call someone out on what appears to be a helpful thread.

I imagine if you can get them from the vendor, so can LMC. Also odd that the vendor put those white shipping labels on the boxes that say "LMC."

Sorry, I call 'em like I see 'em.

How well do those fenders fit? All of the fenders I have seen don't look very good at the front, where the grill surround is spot welded in.

Re: New 1960-66 swb fleetside bed kits!

Personally, I don't care for LMC that much. Since nsanehotrods put these parts on his truck and customers trucks, posts them for all of us to see, I would be way more willing to order from him than LMC because he shows and knows what fits and works on these trucks. He has my respect because of this and not to mention, he is selling this stuff for cheaper than anyone else around. When I get the $ ill buy my new tailgate from him period.

Thanks nsane!

Besides the front, could you get a pic or two showing how the fenders mate up to the rockers?
