Help on finding parts

[BrianG]

Hi all, I've been a member for a while, but mostly just a reader. I'm in the early stages of a 72 stepside 2wd and 69 fleetside 4x4 project(s). I'm in mid Michigan and in need of fenders pretty bad. I'm not great at body work and have been thinking of buying re-pops because I'm not having good luck finding used. I THOGHT that there was a place down near Detroit that had some stock of this stuff. I just can't seem to find it online though. Can anyone provide any help with that? Also, I know, I know, I know... many of you will tell me not to buy re-pops... first of all, why??? are they really that bad? I'm at a point where I don't know what to do. I don't want to spend a fortune to ship either new or used, and am not finding good quality used anywhere.

Thanks, Brian
