'67-'72 Sheet Metal Quality?

Trying to find out what Brand is the Best Quality and who would be the Best Vendor to buy it from.

I'm looking for a Bed Side for a '72 C-10 Long Bed Fleetside.

Thanks

Re: '67-'72 Sheet Metal Quality?

My bedsides are goodmark. My front bed panel is AMD. My tailgate is Dynacorn. In all honesty, they all needed work at the end of the day. Id say between the three I've had, the bedsides were the best.

Thanks, I called Goodmark and they referred me to Summit. Goodmark commented on their Sheet Metal is of the highest quality. Does everyone out there agree?

No , Order AMD thru Summit . For 3 reasons ,

1) Summit has great customer service , They actually answer the phone and will fix any issues you may have . when you call Goodmark and they refer you to Summit says it all

2) lower cost of shipping

3) lower cost of the part, Summit has price matching

This topic comes up often and No ones ever proven that many of the "Middle men body panel sellers" actually build the parts they sell . If anyone has real info on who's stamping Bedsides I'm listening . I think the only one I'm aware of is Mar-K step beds

Re: '67-'72 Sheet Metal Quality?

At one time all the Fleetside panels were made by one. But I believe there is more than one outside producing them now. Places like Goodmark don't actually make parts.

I did a swb box sides, front panel and wheel wells aftermarket. They were pretty good. I bought them some what locally so I could look at them out of the box to make they were straight and not damaged.
