Am I better off fabricating the cab mount panels out of thicker metal or just ordering the panels from LMC? I plan on owning this truck for ever and realy only want to do this once.

If not LMC then where is the best place to get aftermarket patch panels?
Too bad you already ordered the lower door skins....complete skins are avail. for these trucks and are not much more expensive....this way you can replace the whole outer skin from below the window to the bottom & not have to deal with the weld line across the door.
I got mine from www.fixmyrust.com They are avail. from other sources also, but not LMC.
