Opinions on doorposts
For those of you who have replace the front door post, do you have recommendations on who to go through for them? I read on CB about some that fit very poorly, but the OP removed the company name.

I got mine from WH. It was fine, not OE, but worked well.

Re: Opinions on doorposts
Thanks Justin. They seem to be the most recommended. I was thinking I may be able to patch the passenger side, but its not looking so good now. Need to get the wire wheel out and see how bad it is.

I will say that Toms was really nice and was already painted and primed. Every piece of steel I have gotten from them have been very nice

Re: Opinions on doorposts
Eck, how close to OE are they? I thought about cutting a new one up and patching the old one since the door and everything fits already...

Re: Opinions on doorposts
There are only one or two place that make them, so there is a good chance that the vendors are selling the same ones. I sectioned in the door post just below the upper hinge mount, which made alignment much easier.
