No they don't. If you can fix what you have your better off. My front clip -the hood is 50% LMC and 50% Classic chevrolet in OKC. LMC is a bit better that Classic but they both took a lot of tweeking to fit ok. Not chevy good but ok. I have heard the more expencive ones from the big name companies are ok.

I agree with Jason, your better off fixing your old fenders if you can. All of the aftermarket panels you get from LMC and the other big suppliers come from the same place in Tiawan. Some are better then others. Ive seen 2 of the same panel and one will be thinner metal then the other one. The quality of all the aftermarket panels just isnt there.

I ordered floor panels from LMC and the drain holes and cab mounting did not match with my original floor pans. Had to fab.

Even the GM factory parts were different as they were made in different parts of the country. I have a 62 Chevy and I got a donar truck made in the East Coast and some of the parts are made different. My left door was a goos example it did not fit up right no matter what I did. My neighbor came over a long time GM. body shop forman and he was the one that told some parts made back in the East did not fit the west Coast trucks. 62Blue Don
