Fender Steel

[Xtremegmc80]

im tryin to figure out which body parts i should order from.. theres a aftermarket place near here, but their steel is weak. for example the fenders are weak and super light. most of the time i noticed is they are prone to crack. so should i go LMC or just stick to aftermarket.. i dont want to. or others?? help me out, thanks

LMC is aftermarket.. it's all aftermarket...

there is no difference, unless you spend $500 on NOS...

Find used factory from someone and ship it via grayhound....fairly cheap to ship that way

I vote YearOne.

I have their replacement fenders on both sides and they are very good reproductions. Sure they are more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for!

one problem is my truck is gonna meet alot of tree branches n etc.. once its all pretty i wont be scared to scratch it up, or dent the heck out of it.. just want longevity no rust, no cracking...

In that case, buy some used rust free original fenders, sand them and then paint them.

best option is to get some used original fenders. aftermarket is aftermarket. there is nothing better than OEM parts.

NOS is the way to go but I just installed a new bed side for my '86 Blazer that I got from LMC and I like it. It's now coated in rust bullet. hahah
Thanks
