Re: Replacement Body panels.
I've never really had any luck with aftermarket sheetmetal. On the front of my truck I ended up finding a combination of NOS and good, used parts. Even if the used parts aren't perfect, it seems to take less time and effort to get them to fit and look good vs. new aftermarket sheetmetal. I have an entire bed from Tri-plus, and the whole thing had to be redrilled, trimmed, shimmed, ect. On top of that, the metal is really thin.
If you look hard enough, good sheetmetal is out there. It usually seems cheaper and easier to go the aftermarket route, but you will more than make up for that lower price in bodyshop labor.
