Keystone Automotive (maybe Auto Panels Plus in some areas)
LKQ Corp of America

Both are nation wide chains and should have locations close enough for you to drive to. They sell new aftermarket, and have a ton of stuff sheet metal wise. Just remember it's aftermarket, pound to fit.

Lots of items you might find it a little cheaper online, but for the bulky stuff you'll save getting it local due to freight. You can also approach a local body shop to buy the stuff for you, and see if they'll take just 10% over their cost if you pay cash/check (credit card will ruin the deal). For just handling parts for someone, I'd do it all day long. A real shop should be getting at least 35 off list prices that you'd pay just walking in and buying.

Send a PM to Capt Kaos here on the forum. He is a vendor and a great guy to deal with.

Try Certifit if you have one close to your area. I have had good luck with them. I am heading back out to the junkyard to cut some patch panels for my bed
