Mackhils quality?

I'm considering buying the bed front panel and eventually the tailgate for my F-1. The prices seem pretty good at Mackhils. Anyone had any experience with these guys? Good fit/quality? Are they they supplier to parts houses like Dennis Carpenter? Thank you.

I think they are the suppliers to Dennis Carpenter and all the rest but I'm not sure on that.

I did buy a couple of the rounded stake pockets for the 48-50 style beds. I was happy with the quality and fitment. I didn't have any issues with the service or shipping.

Just to get a second opinion, you might want to look at MAR-K as well

I've used a couple of kits from Mack Hils as well as some other pieces and had no issues whatsoever. They are top quality. I wouldn't hesitate to use their stuff on my own truck.

I can echo the above comments - Mackhils supplies Mac's also.

I've used their tailgate and stake pockets more than once and will in the future.
