I pretty sure the aftermarket sheet metal (repair panels, fenders, etc.), are all stamped at the same factory. The ones that I have used, they are close, but expect to do a lot of massaging.

I order all my sheet metal from Top Banana and have been satisfied with everything I've ordered. Most catalog companies use one of two or three sheet metal companies and its a crap shoot on what you'll get with fit and finish. Have heard a lot of good stuff about Goodmark lately too.

Appreciate the input checked.out top banana and goodmark although at least on my phone i was only able to go back till 1975 with goodmark the products at top banana seemed like a good deal a lot less costly than LMC for sure so at the price I'll see what happens...updates when part arrives

Actually, there's at least two different places.
The definition of shape between two cab corners I got were surely from different stamps.

They sent me two different brands.

TriPlus for the Driver's side and I don't know for the Passenger's.
I will be exchanging the passanger's side for a Tri-Plus brand.

The off brand is just way too cheaply made. The metal is terribly obviously thinner. :(
The shape of the body lines are very under shaped.

The TriPlus is far superior.
