New Chrome Trim?

Has anyone bought the chrome trim kits for the Truck sides from anyone? I have seen these advertised in LMC, Dennis Carpenter, and some other places. I was wondering about the quality.

I've heard alot of people say LMC parts are cra*, but I don't think they could mess that up.

I bet they can mess it up...one of the other users here bought a tail gate from LMC. When it arrived it had several dents and also had rust on it. When he called to complain....they told him to live with it. I'd watch out for LMC.

I can't say I want to buy from them after all I've heard, I'll just look up stuff in their catologs, and go find the same part some where else, like broncograveyard(for cheaper and better quality than LMC).

MBB, I end up doing the same thing, all the way down to ordering from bronco grave yard. Jeff's is definately quite a bit cheaper. Look up a window rubber kit some time in LMC then bronco grave yard....There's a lot of difference in price.

I've seen what your talking about on the price differences.
I remember reading your dad got parts from LMC and you got parts from broncograveyard and you paid less and they shipped to you much faster, right?

Yes, but also the Bronco graveyard parts were better quality than LMC.

I have bought some things from the graveyard with great success and have stayed away from LMC. If I can find the part I need from a sponser here, I will go that route every time.

Though I have never ordered anything from LMC I have called them. I asked if they had anything specific to the Supercab. I remember very clearly I got some attitude on the other end of the phone with an abrumpt no.
