I wanted to share that I decided to buy a set of these new AMD Bedsides. They arrived last week - they were packed very well (I'm guessing they do not want any shipping damage issues, which I appreciated).

Initial impressions, they are very well made panels. They are heavy just like GM ones and there is little to no flex when you push on the sides. I have bolted up the passenger side to a factory GM floor, and I do see the bolt holes are not lining up exactly like the OEM ones, so they will need some holes opened up, but they are light years closer than the last pair of aftermarket sides I owned.

I do not think they will take much body work to get them strait, and the build quality appears to be very high. If your having a tough time finding a set of GM panels, then these are probably worth spending the extra money on over the basic aftermarket sides.
