Body Damage Questions

I have some minor body damage to my 90 k1500. I was wondering if it would be cheaper to have a body shop fix it or to replace the stepside panel. it has some cracks at the rear step, and the bumper has a fist sized hole.

prices are gonna vary among bodyshops. I'd take it to a coulple of places and have them give you an estimate.

Either way the stepside panels should be replaced since they are fibergass unless you know a good fiberglass repair shop!!

No glass is easy. Doesnt need to be replaced at all. Fiberglass is super simple to fix and alot cheaper than replacing the whole panel.
