The pic looks off, but I know the stock photo isn't always correct. Wondering if they're full length or not. Mine are mostly good. But where the spring perches and stuff are, where they all join together has a few issues and figure while the trunk is out is the time to tackle it.

I had some sherman quarters for a 66 Belle. They were way off ended up getting them for free. I bitched and complained about the fitment until they refunded me the money and they told me to keep the sheet metal. Probably would not expect great fitment but who knows they maybe workable.

Their sheet metal is crap. Keep in mind these guys were the first on the block to reproduce ANY sheet metal and the poor quality is probably what has driven others to improve and produce the product. Anything I use comes from AMD and even their stuff has issues but for the most part the gauge of metal is correct and the stamping are pretty close to original. For a few extra bucks I'd skip the Shermans and go AMD. OR you could go with a good used set of originals !!

Well I'd love to but AMD doesn't produce this part. Only other I can find is a company out of Ohio that doesn't have a website and sells to retailers... like this

There have to be tons of decent originals out there. Post a "wanted" ad !!!

As stated above, don’t plan on using whole Sherman parts. If however you just need a piece of a Sherman part they can be helpful. They have saved me much time in beating a raw piece of metal into the desired shape.
