has anyone tried to buy body panels lately, i dented the front right quarter on my B4000, everywhere is either out of stock or crazy expensive. Even my local body shops told me they are made of unobtanium!

Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! has anyone tried to buy body panels lately, i dented the front right quarter on my B4000, everywhere is either out of stock or crazy expensive. Even my local body shops told me they are made of unobtanium!

i would reckon its because of supply chain problems caused by the covid...

Scrapyard? People parting out stuff on Kijiji/Facebook marketplace?

I've used these guys a bunch:

Uncertain if they ship outside US though. I'd bet on Covid related back orders for the rest of the year. Mostly new parts, and they come primed. They will paint to order too. Last purchase was pre-covid - fenders, hood, and bumper cover for an '02 Grand Prix. Don't remember actual price, but I do know it was under $300 with free shipping. They also refunded 15% when I received the parts and the hood had a ding in it. Was all well packaged, so it was likely dinged before they even shipped it. Nothing a dab of filler couldn't handle....

Actually looks like Carparts and Summit have them too:
