i will need complete rear quarter panels for my 84 jimmy . and here in eastern canada my body guy says he can no longer get them. i was planning to do a body job in a few years when i have more time . but i would maybe buy some now if the are getting hard to get.
 
I was told that no one really makes a 73-91 rear quarter. goodmark told me that the ones that people sell are the wrong ones that don't fit well the lip for the wheel wells is wrong. I am going to have a ton of body work done and I am getting a new rear quarter. I will tell you where I get it from.
 
Yes, I can get almost all Holley brands, but they don't quite have us Holley dealers setup yet to get the brothers trucks line they bought, it's supposed to be "any day now" from my answer this morning. When I can I will let us CK5 friends know.
 
It's not what you want to hear, but....

There are always Fiberglass panels that could be worked to fit....

Spend the time & money to scour the.US, looking for NOS parts from private collectors, car shows etc...

Make panels from NOS GM OEM 6 or 8' quarter panels. Time consuming for a hi end restitution shop, but the stampings would be the best quality.

If you have a ton of work.... Maybe a replication body would be a good solution.
 
let me know 1300obo how they fit !
Finally got to the point of a test fit and it seems to fit really well. I won't know for sure til I get the bolts in and start welding but I see no major issues so far. Have to get the outer rocker fitted and welded in before I do the quarter

Do check your body for factory measurements....very easy for a body to twist + move when it's loose.

Doors help visual inspection for gaps twists ...
