Where do you get most of your parts like Rocker panels, weather striping, body mounts, trim, carpet, dashs, seats.... I hear LMC Body panels are crap, so where does everyone get their replacement parts. I am start my first "restoration" project this summer.:D If you have had a bad experience with one company please share, and if you had a good experience please share. I would like to get quatily parts a fair price.
Thanks
 
Goodmark IMHO has the best replacement pannels. They are authorized by GM if I remember correctly. The use original GM dies from what I have been told. My friend ran a street rod shop and they are a dealer for Goodmark.
 
I used Goodmark on the cab I put new metal into. Rockers (inner and outter), floors, floor suppors and cab corners. The metal was of decent thickness and fit correctly. The only problem I had was the way the pannels overlapped. I think they were designed for replacing only one piece at a time, i.e. just the floor or just the rocker. I had to do quite a bit of trimming to get everything to fit together nicely. I'd buy their stuff again. I order from Summit on a wed night and had most of the order by friday morning. Two more pieces came saturday and the last one came two weeks later.
