As far as sheet metal goes: Panel/suburban/k5 sides,cab back panels,and the piece in the cowl where the wiper motor mounts.



I think they are only "made" by one company. I bought a steering wheel from lmc that i installed in a truck that i drive very occasionally. Within four years the rim split and separated at tdc. You can see the metal rod in there and it is a way lighter gauge than original...like half. I'd say about 3/16" where the oems have more like 3/8". The wheels are beautiful and correct looking reproductions. I just can't fathom why,especially for what they cost,they would go so cheap on the structure. I'd rather pay five more dollars (a guess at how much more heavier gauge might have cost) than waste all that money on a temporary part. Going cheap can come around and bite your behind and i hope it bites who makes these. If the word got out that steering wheels are made better now,they would sell 10x what they do now and make way more money.

Amen!
