Source for sheet metal
Getting ready to pull the trigger on some replacement floor pans and steps from LMC. Any bad experiences with quality? Know of anywhere else I can get them cheaper/better?
Thanks!

Ill see if I can get you a better price and higher quality stuff so you don't have to deal with LMC and they don't get any more business.

Not sure about the LMC floor pans but I ordered mine through Classic Fabrication. The design is a bit different and will require you to remove the full pan/replace. I'll be posting pics later of mine.
Also purchased cab mounts from them.

So far ive found the steps for $53 and or the part that wraps around the bottom step for $55. Which is more expensive then LMC -.- If you want I might be able to get ahold of a cab and have the original metal cut out?

I believe NPD also has the step wrap around part and the sill plate.

Didn't want to hijack the thread but does anybody have recommendations for rear cab corners? I was thinking either Dennis Carpenter or LMC. Everything else I made but those are a little to complex to waste time fabricating.

The guy who fixed my cab is a pretty good fabricator, but for $180 a side from LMC he admitted it was cheaper to buy those than to have him pound new ones out. Like you, he made everything else that needed replacement. I went with the LMC cab corner sets and it came out really good.

Just (finally) ordered my sheet metal. Got the floor pan from Classic Fabrication ($83) and the step parts (step, step kick plate, and rocker) from LMC for about $160 total. It'll probably be a month until I get around to installing them but I figure having them as a trip hazard in the garage will motivate me to get it done.
