Repo body parts

I decided to R&R my cab roof with a repo lid. Looking online there are a lot of people selling them with a pretty wide range of prices. My question is, are they all from the same place, or is there a difference in quality on these or any other sheet metal parts?
Thanks for any info
Tom

According to this very recent discussion there are disparities. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=818760

Thanks Rod,
Yes, unfortunately I know very well the difference between factory and aftermarket parts, been watching the downhill slide for years. What I was wondering is if there is a difference between the various different aftermarket sheet metal suppliers, or if price is the only factor.

Re: Repo body parts

I did a search for posts by me about triplus brand.
Click on this link and then read the threads that discuss aftermarket sheet metal.

Try to find TriPlus (Keyparts)

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.
