Need advice on replacement panel quality - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

thekidd · 11-19-2004, 10:56 AM

OK guys and gals I am ready to start ordering replacement pieces for my new toy. Been looking on internet and need some help. I need two door skins PO put mirror holes all over top and there is rust at bottom edge. Only thing I have seen thempriced from $60 to $110. Which ones do ya'll like the best? Are all rocker panels about same? Need one on driver's side. Is that the left side? Are sides determined by the way you are sitting in truck? Need a rocker box too on passenger(right?) side. Lastly lower quarters in front right behind door. Who makes the best and easiest fitting ones? Any answers will be appreciated and all will be read. Thanks.
Oh yeah every light burns after bulb replacements and it drives really well.

Can't wait for next summer!

Christians carries Goodmark, quality is good and service is great.

Drivers is left, passengers is right.

Good luck and have fun, Rg

Christians was the one that had the $60 door skins and was one of the reasons I asked my questions. Thanks anybody else?

So far I have either ordered or already bought the following from Tim Christian:

2 inner fenders
Tailgate
Driver's Blazer Door
Body mount kit
complete bolt set
etc......

I should advertise for him once this thing is done. I'll end up being a rolling display I guess. Tim is a great guy to do business with.

As far as rockers go, I pretty sure there is a difference between makes with original GM being top quality. I used aftermaket, but I'm not sure where they came from. The biggest factor is probably the installer. Good Luck

Some of the after market outer rockers are not the same as the original. They are shaped a little different toward the door hinge side. When you open your door the hinge side of the door moves in over the rocker. Some after-market rockers are not as flat in this area and the door will rub when opened. Has anyone else had this problem?
