Im in the same situation. I have to replace my box. LMC has the cheapest parts. Example bed panels have gone down to $300. Locally two suppliers claim there aftermarket panels are better than the ones that I have heard so much bad suff about. Homestly im wondering if their is any difference between them and LMC. Nobody can give me a Brand Name for their panels so they might all have been made in the same factory in China.
So far I have had no luck finding a good used box to put on my truck.
Hey what about fiberglass? There is an outfit in Florida that makes complete fiberglass beds. Any of you have oppinions on fiberglass?
I use my truck for work and im thinking fiberglass wont be strong enough?
