I need to replace my inner fender wells on the front of my 81 c10 anyone have any recommendations?
Looking for a good replacement, trying to avoid the thinner flimsy products.

If you want to pay for Goodmark I would get them. From what I've heard is they have the original GM dies so it will be as close to OEM as possible, and they do use the heavier gauge steel. Other than that I can't help, all the stuff I need only Goodmark sells so that's all I've looked into.

I've found there's black, and there's gray... And it's almost all Taiwan. I use Classic Parts because they don't beat you up on shipping, but there's only so many people out there making 40 year old sheetmetal.

Recently I've started a job at Mopar, so I pick up from NPD because I can get it with no shipping. It's still the same stuff I've gotten from LMC and Classic lol.

I've also used AMD sheet metal. No complaints.

I recently replaced mine with the AMD brand was very happy with the quality. Same thickness as the GM ones and all holes lined up pretty good. I painted the tops to match the truck.

I was wondering the same. That's looks like the master cylinder off the 88-97 era trucks. But the rest of the truck looks like a square. But maybe the latter years of squares used that MC?
Gotta be an 80s nose at least, look at the hood hinges and such...
