Body Replacement Panels

Hi All,
I got what is, I hope, an easy question. Where is a good, or preferrably the best, place to get replacement body panels? Within a reasonably good price too!

A freind of mine wants me to replace the front doors on his S10 Blazer ('86) due to rust for him. So I'm looking to find a place where I can get a pair door shells, hinges & new felt/seals.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

there are many aftermarket places you can get door shells . FOr felt and all you may try LMC . For a truck that old why not try for decent ones in the boneyard

JC Whitney.com lists a bunch in their catalog.
Not sure what they list on the web.

I bought a lower sliding door panel sometime back. Good fit and material.

I agree with trying to find a set of good used ones. Aftermarket ones can be a hit and miss situation as far as quality and fit. I understand that has improved in the last couple of years though. I got a pair of "off shore" patch panels for a chevelle years ago I swear the cardboard boxes they came in would have fit better.

If you do go with aftermarket, try to find ones that are CAPA certified. It's a type of quality assurance program.

There used to be a company called Wolf Steel or something like that that does a lot of rust repair panels. Not sure if they are still around

I have had a good experience with P.A.W. , they even took back an item I ordered wrong at not charge (it was my fault - I called it by the wrong name).
