Personal opinion... None. It's gotten to the point to were i'd rather cut up dented or too far gone bedsides and weld those for my floor pans/rockers and all that. After JCWHITNEY crappy floor pans and LMC's inner fenders i started looking for NOS

Well I need a rocker, cab corners, and rear bed floor patch. I don't have the time to do a lot of that work so I need pre-shaped metal. And I'm still not making enough to buy NOS parts.

Yeah haha I hate find sheet metal. But I found some sources for bolt-on metal but now I need a good source for patch panels.
