don't buy them from certafit if you want anything thicker than a coke can

ive bought things from two of our site supporters... CaptKaos and Tripro automotive.. Both offer quality parts

Jonboy · 11-01-2010, 05:27 PM

I had good luck buying from Capt Kaos also. His parts are from Goodmark, or at least they were about 8 years ago.

I agree. Chris (Capt Kaos) has been excellent to work with on all my transactions.

I've bought em local and also from raybuck auto because of the low prices. capt. kaos is great too. lmc, jcwhitney, tons have them as for quality and thickness not sure. quality seemed great with the raybucks pieces, fit was great too.

I just bought some pieces from Keystone since they deliver to my shop. They feel like good heavy pieces, and the ones I've installed so far fit well.

I believe that tripro is a keystone dealer

What would be the best way to get ahold of them?

scooterskoolkustoms · 11-02-2010, 03:39 PM

I get my stuff from brothers,but I can walk there from my house.so no shipping cost on anything.

bought my cab corners from LMC and got a custom made rocker panel that would fit my crew from a local body man

swb85 · 11-03-2010, 08:32 AM

I got my inner/outer rockers & cab corners from Goodmark. The outer cab corners were an absolute joke, not even remotely close to fitting. I spent hours on each side just to make them usable. The rest of the parts were great and fit really nice, but those cab corners really pissed me off.

justinburnett · 11-03-2010, 10:23 AM

I meant how to get ahold of the site vendors. I need a driver's side rear cab corner for a 1973 standard cab. The fenders are in kinda rotten shape too but I can wait on those till spring, or maybe just replace the whole fenders but I do want to take care of the cab this year if possible.

Tri plus parts are the heaviest on the market they fit good but a little hard to trim w/ hand snips.

justinburnett · 11-03-2010, 09:53 PM

do you have a list available with prices, and how would I order?

James McClure · 11-04-2010, 08:56 AM

I got my stuff from LMC before I was a site member. The rockers and cab corners fit well, BUT, the rear panel for the rockers was way off, had to make my own. Floor panels and cab supports were also good. Metal seems to be of good thickness and well constructed.
