anybody have any experience with LMC trucks doors? i live in the northern part of new england, good body parts are like gold, i'm in need of two doors for my 84 k5, I recently purchased the premium LMC front fenders and i am very impressed with how they fit. curious if anyone has had luck with their doors. a buddy of mine gave me a couple cheapo's that didnt even have mirror bolt holes and they look like someone at the ford factory made them. appreciate any info!

I've heard a lot of reviews from ppl who have gotten dented doors or they were paper thin and didn't line up etc... I don't even touch that stuff anymore I only buy good southern Rust-free parts or NOS.

Southern if you want to save a wee little $$$ & Still have genuine. Or unless you don't care Try AMD... They have Licensed GM Products and have very good reviews.

Another choice would be to find a local body parts store. Most cities have one. Talk to a local body shop to find where they buy their parts. It'll save you shipping costs and they can get both cheap or OEM quality parts for you.

About a decade ago when I was building my '77 I used LMC doors with good results. Like any repop body panel they needed some adjustment (more than an OEM door probably would require) but overall the results were good and I'm happy that I went that route. Not sure how things may or may not have changed 10 years later so take my review for what it's worth :shrug:

I’d say travel if you can. Maybe post in the wanted section how much you’ll be willing to pay for shipping. If not give LMC a shot their customer service is usually pretty good if there are issues.
