I haven't bought any patch panels from ChevyDuty or Classic Parts and most likely will not. My experience with this vender hasn't been real positive.
All the patch panels I've bought have come from Ray Stanley and I have been very happy with his beautiful work. Of course most of it isn't installed yet so I guess I don't know everything yet.
I've been quick to retell my disapointment with ChevyDuty in the past. I'll skip that this time.
I will say one thing in defense of the generally available patch panels. Looking at my assortment of trucks I've concluded that after 50-some years lots of parts are no longer shaped the way GM intended and if the replacement parts we buy match new-old-stock specs they may not fit some of our rusty sagging and twisted trucks.
I would not be at all surprised to learn the part that is the subject of this thread was less than perfect. But then it might fit perfectly on some trucks and not others depending on which most closely resemble the pattern used in creating the part.
Old trucks are likely to have problems...
