I would like some feedback on them before I lay out my hard earned money. The price goes from around $30 to $47. Is there a difference?

No one can recommend a part from an unknown vendor.

Lmc and classic parts of America fall some where between.

The top is the same contour as the lower cab corners. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 186 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 186 | The one I used was from Classic out of California.

If not then JC would seem the likely choice | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 165 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 165 | Hey 53 I just read about this very thing today on another forum. From what I gather, the best quality based on the photo in the thread is from a company called Tabco. Unfortunately they do not handle our older trucks. The second best is Tri-Plus which is carried by Classic Parts. If you'll see the first cab corner he has in the photo, it is awful. I guess there is a difference. I was always under the impression that the same place made them and we all choose where to purchase based on what our favorite place to buy from is. Anyway, hopefully this helps you decide if you want to do the JC thing or not. Here is the link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=630393Good Luck
