Repro doors revisited - "Real Deal Steel" any good?
I know for years repro doors were avoided like the plague for these trucks. I've noticed there are several more companies selling doors now. I ran across some recently that Summit is selling from Real Deal Steel. They claim "Every panel has been reverse-engineered from perfect original parts."
Are these the same old doors everybody is reboxing, or are they truly different/better? Has anybody here used them? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/r...SABEgJkY_D_BwE

Re: Repro doors revisited - "Real Deal Steel" any good?
FRoM REAL DEAL....
Where are your parts manufactured? Real Deal sources parts from Taiwan, ROC as well as the US. Most of our body sheet metal is manufactured in Taiwan. Don't let this scare you - as the quality is very good to excellent. The sheet metal we stock and sell is the very same sheet metal we use to build our new steel car bodies. I think all doors need a bit of messaging to make them fit...

Re: Repro doors revisited - "Real Deal Steel" any good?
Thanks for that, harpo.
Let me ask this then, what brand is known to need the least amount of work these days? My Dad is working on one of these trucks, and he is in only so-so health. It would better for him just to buy a rust free and massage it, rather than cutting, welding, sanding, etc.
