where to buy good INNER FENDERS

[1987_chevy_]

After driving the truck in Michigan for a few winters I've decided it was my last, the truck is undergoing an engine swap in the spring and hopefully paint before the end of summer. With the engine swap I'm replacing all the rust metal in the engine bay.

So my question is, where is the best place to buy inner fenders and a core/ radiator support? I heard summit racings aren't very good. Any help would be awesome!

There aren't any better metal components than the factory ones. I know how bad the rust situation is for vehicles up there, but do you know of any junkyards that have square bodies that have these pieces? I wish you were closer. Plenty of that stuff in Mississippi and Louisiana. Unless it's NOS, a lot of that stuff is overseas manufactured and fitment is not as good as OEM. I just looked and Auto Metal Direct is out of stock on one side of the inner fenders. I know LMC Truck sells all that stuff, but I've never bought it so I don't know the quality or lack thereof.

I'll probably go look at one of my junkyards, rust sucks!

That's what I'd do. I know it's a lot harder up there, though.
