Sheet Metal Feedback Requested

I’m in the process of doing a full frame off restoration of a ’70 Blazer. Due to rust I’ve decided to replace almost all of the original steel with new sheet metal. These parts include (but are not limited to): full front & rear floors w/braces, fenders, bedsides, inner fenders, wheelhousings, firewall, inner cowl panel, door shells, hood. I don’t want to use New Old Stock due to my opinions and past experience with the steel GM used in the early 70’s. Due to the huge cost of all of these parts I’m going to try and buy as many pieces as possible from one location and pick them up in order to avoid the additional truck shipping charges, as well as inspect them in person. That all being said, I’m looking for opinions (based on relatively recent experience) on the quality, fit, and thickness of the common names (AMD, Dynacorn, Goodmark, Tri-Plus, or any other company) as they relate to the 67-72 Chevy trucks. Any and all opinions and feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Sheet Metal Feedback Requested

In my experience, you can't go wrong with Tri-Plus. somewhat local

I'd say welcome to the board, but you've been around for awhile. Any way you're welcome to stop over, and look at my junk
