Title: body panels
Post by: Cowman85 on February 15, 2009, 11:09:07 am
i heard that you can get new body panels cheap(canadian$) under 200 for the doors, around 300 for a box side etc, does anyone know if there is any truth to this? i would rather just replace them in time then do bondo work.
thanks

not to sure but i dont think its true I looked into buying new box sides for my truck and they were 500 bucks canadian thats one side. so instead i phoned up a guy that will bring a shortbox up from arizona in perfect condition for 1000$ I could never fix my box for that amount.

You should be able to find some pieces aftermarket but look around on craigslist or your local papers for good used parts.

thanks

I bought from Sherman once, for an 86 Chevy van. The parts were complete crap. The floor patch was stamped at about a 20 degree angle to what it was cut to fit.

I've only had full panels from them and they seem ok although I did have to unpick the tailgate and re-spot it!
