Smile Re: goodmark are they any good ?

I fully expected to need to fit the panels and doors. I understand the tolerance issues and how the trucks back then werent as precisely built. Goodmark stamps their parts with a GM authorized replacement part. I checked into this after the fact and found out its a matter of paying GM to use thier name. With all of the excuses for Goodmark, its amazing how an Old fender off of another truck bolts right on. Also amazing how an old door off even another truck has the proper brake and fits without many fitment problems.---I am just trying to warn people about a company that cost me personally alot of time and money. The truck is looking great now with a few used fenders and a couple of donor patch panels......

Mike- I know this is an old thread but....LKQ bought Fit-Rite body parts at 55 Shepherds Lane in Totowa, NJ....not Fitrite that is now Key Parts. Key Parts became Key Parts (changed name from FitRite) because of the "Other" Fit-Rite's incorporation paperwork making it through the state without them picking up on the fact that there was already a Fit-Rite in NJ. In the aftermarket world they share a lot of customers and it was becoming a nightmare for both. Key Parts has nothing to do with LKQ, nor is it even 1/2% owned by ANY outside entity, including Tri-Plus.

My daughter has worked at the "Other" Fit-Rite for 10 years (and continues to).
