Canadian question, for shipping

[1981scottsdale]

Does anyone know a good place to get replacement body pannels, im thinking about buy replacement box panels cuz i dont think i want to take the time to fix them buy hand and tedious work, i live in Alberta. so maybe there is another Albertan here who has ordered body panels from somewhere? im thinking about lmc but i just hate how they dont give you a shipping est, at checkout
THank you GMSB for all of your help!

You don't have to buy them from a mail order type restoration company, your local aftermarket body panel supplier should carry all the same parts. Ask a couple local body shops where they purchase their aftermarket body panels.

There's a company called crosscanadaparts that supply all body panels and patch panels you need. That's where we ordered mine from and I'm in Alberta there kind of pricey but since we own a mechanic shop we got them at cost. Other wise check out kmstools they carry some stuff too also if you do but from crosscanadaparts there's different quality parts (pplus capa, capa, pplus ampp and ampp the capa quality stuff is better quality then ampp.

Okay just curious because from lmc it's 89 for the pannels and 212 for shipping just not sure if that's good or not

89$ for what panel?

 

[1981scottsdale]

a full wheel well pannel, 89$ for both sides. its like 60" long, and yeah, dont remembe how wide it is, its number 5 on the fleet side box in the lmc cat.

That's not a full panel it's only a patch panel. Number 2 on the next page is the full panel and its like 329$ plus shipping but through cross canada it's 500$-700$ depending if long box or short box and that's the full panel, if you want the patch panel it's 21-75$ depending on the size and that's also at retail if you can manage to get them at cost the bed sides will be like 300-500 depending on long box or shortbox. Long story short itd be cheaper to buy in canada

Yeah i just wanted a patch pannel, i think i might be set i can get both sides from my girlfriends uncle for liek 160 $

you can definitely do better than 212 shipping if you can find a local body place near you.
