i've got a big order to place, but i just remembered a few years ago i got a core support and fenders from them and they were the cheesiest tin crap i've ever seen so i sent it all back and just got wrecking yard items.

but other than their cheesy body parts anyone have input of the rest of their stuff?

i'm ordering things like dome light, courtesy light switches, window switch, carpet, headliner, taillights, and maybe the eurethane body mounts and some other items.

i really don't know of any other companies that sell this stuff and the stealership is out of the questions, for price and availability i'm sure

but for things like bumpers and such, i'm assuming they're cheesy to?

I've bought a grill, bumper, and pass fender for my '94 s10 blazer and they fit/looked mint. I've always had good experience with lmc.

Re: Input on quality from LMC truck?

I sent half the stuff I ordered back. The prop shaft bolts were poor ( Chinese) quality, the oil pressure and temp switches ,didn't like them also. I kept the grille mounting kit and motor mounts, but probably should have sent those back also. The mounts were made in the U.S but seemed like cheap rubber. Engine mount bolts were 1/2 inch too long, they went back also.

I have only bought small odds and end stuff from them and they were are pretty low quality. And i would not recommend them as well as certi-fit or sorta-fit.

I got window channel molding for my S10 and it made the windows pop out of the channel when rolling up the windows so I went searching the junk yards for decent looking ones and put them in and that fixed that. The other rubber pieces I got were just fine.

Re: Input on quality from LMC truck?

well i noticed that they are pretty proud of what they sell as far as prices go, maybe i'll call GM and get some P/A quotes.

i'm glad i asked this, my ending total with shipping was almost $700. spending that much would have really pissed me off to end up getting junk,

Thanks guys

$700.00??? what the heck are you buying? Maybe throw a parts wanted list up on the site and some of the guys might have some stuff kicking around.

Some stuff is good, some sucks. I bought some parts that came in GM packages. Other stuff is cheap Chinese built. The dash cap seems cheap, the mouldings were good, the door handles were junk, the hardware is gm quality, the sill plates are GM, the headlights are great, markers and blinkers are great, chrome bulbs junk, headlight wiring was sweet, etc etc

Re: Input on quality from LMC truck?

this was the parts list, and came to 627 and then shipping was another 60 or 70

29-5260 BUSH SET-CAB MOUNT STD CAB 79.95

29-8433 TAILLIGHT-RED/CLEAR-RH 29.95

29-8432 TAILLIGHT-RED/CLEAR-LH 29.95

29-8331 SPACER-DOME LIGHT 1 REQ 3.95

36-4210 DOME LIGHT LENS-1ST DESIGN-WHT 3.95

29-8330 DOME LIGHT HOUSING 1 REQ 8.95

29-8910-BL HEADLINER-BLACK 1 REQ 229.95

29-9606 AIR DEFLECTOR W/FOG LAMP HOLE 29.95

29-8700-BL MOLDED CARPET-BLACK 1 REQ 149.95
29-8126 POWER WINDOW SWITCH-LH 1 REQ 39.95
29-8157 COURTESY LIGHT SWITCH 2 REQ 5.95 $11.90
29-1470 BOOT-COURTEST LIGHT SWITCH 3.95 $7.90

the biggest things i needed were the ABS headliner since my truck has no headliner and the stock ones are made of that crappy foam board and break, and none in the wrecking yards, the carpet, tail lights i might still get from them unless anyone has gotten janky tail lights from them?

and like the dome light housing and such since they all seem to have melted spots.

after looking at it, everything on the list is stuff that is needed to finish the project, except for the eurethane bushing set. like the courtesy light switches mine are bad and alot of the wrecking yard ones i've pulled are junk.

i dunno i may still get a couple things from them depending on GM's P/A

anyone bought the plastic headliner they offer?

Re: Input on quality from LMC truck?

I have to agree with the others. Some stuff is good, some stuff you send back. Hit and miss.

I ordered some weatherstrip and moulding pieces from them, and I had to send the windshield and one rear side window moulding back. One of the rear side window pieces was about 3" bigger than the one that fit. The one they exchanged it for fit though. I guess I got the end of the roll. :( I sourced a GM piece for the windshield though.

The door window stuff kinda sucked too, but it's only option we have. If anyone knows where I can get OEM window channel stuff pm me, because all the junkyard stuff here in dry ass AZ is cracked and brittle.
