replacement sheet metal

Where are you all finding your replacement body panels? What kind of prices are doors, fenders, ect... running? The local body supply house is now quoting me $169 for aftermarket doors and $120 for fenders. Seems kind of high when last I bought were $89 and $74 few years ago

My panels(fenders/doors) came from GoodMark. Not sure on price's, they were ordered befor i got the truck.

I Have people calling every day wanting doors and fenders. I was looking for a good outet to buy a bunch up and have here to resell even assemble a few door with glass and track to sell ready to bolt on.

HOLY ****. The guy that had my truck befor me paid 150$ PER DOOR.

And retro, kinda hard to do that when they are all rusted beyond repair.

He Paid Around 780$ for fenders/doors. THATS CRAZY

He's referring to his PAP yards down south there in his area.


Towjoe when I did my panels I used mostly topbannana, JCW and LMC. Believe me I am a cheap bastard I shopped around hard. They were all pretty competitive in pricing. TB seemed to have some better deals at the time.

$150 per door ain't nothing, comparatively speaking. If factory doors were still available, they would be well over $400. A couple years ago I bought a new fender from GM for my '77, it was around $400 plus I had to pay shipping from a warehouse in Wisconsin or something. Once it was all said and done, it was just under $800.

I bought my OEM doors off a junkyard truck for $150 each and my fenders were $25 for one and $100 for the other. Better than repro ones anyday.

I got my fenders, hood and doors off of CL as a package deal. They've never been mounted or installed and the seller said he got them originally from LMC. I got all of those parts for $400!!!! That was a steal of a deal for sure but if you can find a deal like that jump on it. With that said, as stated by Retro nothing beats OEM but those are VERY hard to find especially at a reasonable price.

I wish They all weren't rusted out around here. I bought a set off a c60 ambulance today for a $100 that was a real good deal, but there about impossable to find good ones here. I have a few good passenger doors left but only 1 drivers side left. Iwas looking for a good outlet to buy some surplus to retail out why I was asking.
