Who make the best Replacement Panels and patches

[KeyBlazer]

Have some work to do on my '73 K10 and later my '73 Blazer.
I bought some cab corners for the k10, from a place here is Orange County, California.
But they dont fit very well from an initial test.
Wondering what other peoples experiences, are and if someone makes better ones that will save me time cos they fit better?

It really depends. What panels do you need?

 

[KeyBlazer]

Got to do both cab corners. Picked up
Some already but don’t like the way they look/fit.

OEM used is best bet...plenty in AZ

I used panels from AMD for some repair on our blazer and a bunch on my 66. Some fit well, some needed a ton of work. I also used a handful of factory metal from donor trucks. I’d go oem as suggested above.

Im not sure what you guys mean by OEM...
Explain?

Original equipment manufacturer

I know that, lol.
I’m asking what you guys mean by OEM panels…
Are you buying OEM panel parts or are you cutting panels out of an old truck?

Probably both, try to find a truck being parted out.

Cutting them out.

NOS - OEM - General Motors best parts money can buy.

Unfortunately, the LMC cab corners I bought required significant mods. They were much larger than factory - almost as if the mold had been taken from the outside - everything was ⅛ -¼ off. Had to slice and reweld, pie-cut corners, etc.

I'm going to be in AZ in two weeks, how far are we talking from Bullhead? I need to find a pass side front fender and inner fender.

Thx.

Cutting rust free panels from a vehicle is better then NOS GM sheet metal.

I have a pile of cab sections I saved for patch panels but I don't think I have any good cab corners.
