Re: Repo sheet metal
2 plants. I paid a little more for OER and it still requiers a lot of work. Fenders and Tailgate. So dealers choice.

Re: Repo sheet metal
IMO you have a better chance of getting a good part from Top Banana versus some of the other big parts sellers.

Re: Repo sheet metal
there is no single answer to this question; it's completely dependant on exactly which part you're looking at. Some parts have only one manufacturer, some have two, and some pieces are made by a number of different manufacturers. There are also different qualities within a single number (Floor pans being a good example)

Re: Repo sheet metal
All repro sheet metal comes from China. All suppliers get the same parts. There is a 3 digit number on the UPC label that identifies country of origin. None of it is made here anymore.
