Questioning aftermarket sheet metal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am getting ready to start the rust repair on my 69 C10. I purchased lower door skins and one inner panel from LMC this week, I am waiting for the UPS guy to drop them off Monday. My concern is these aftermarket panels are thinner then OEM panels? Doesn't worry me so much with the door skins but I will be tackling some cab mount rust next. 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?
