I used the ones from classic parts also and I'm really happy with them. There was a little damage (a couple of dings) that I assume happened in shipping. Not a big deal. I just had to trim a little from around the top towards the cab. Again not a big deal. I can't remember what the manufacturer was on the side of the box, though. The cool thing was if you ordered 2 at the same time, you paid the same amount for shipping as you would have to just buy one. Mine have the same issues as everyone else's around the front. It was a trade off for me. I was running around with huge rust holes in the side of my old ones just like everyone else. So, imperfections here and there on the new ones are still way better than what I had. I know some guys will say you should just fix the old ones, and I agree to some extent. But the real question is, do you have the skills, tools, time, and a really good patch panel to do it? I thought about going this route and even bought a patch panel from Tabco. (made in usa) It was JUNK! I'll include a picture of the patch panel and let you decide for yourself. Aftermarket fenders are not as good as the originals. It has been well documented. But it's what we have to work with. I seriously doubt if ANY patch panel or aftermarket item is as good as the original, so you just have to take a chance on the vendor that most people have had decent luck with. The first 2 pics are the fenders as they arrived. The 3rd pic is the shipping damage. Pic 4 shows it hung on the truck. And pic 5 is the Tabco patch exactly as it arrived at my house. Just my two cents.
