I got mine from brothers trucks.
Brand was "A DOT. Or red dot" can't recall for sure. Good fit. Same thickness as original steel. Very pleased
I got a good mark door repair panel. Was garbage. Fit was un useable.
Thickness was a joke. Thin as a pop can.
Word of advise. Examine the bedsides before signing the ticket. Found one of mine damaged after driver left.
Brothers replaced but wanted photos etc. refuse any damaged panels to protect yourself.

Hey Mark! I got my bedsides from Brothers as well. Not sure of the brand (could be the A DOT), but several Counterpart references came up when I googled the part number. The driver side fit beautifully but the passenger floor bolts are about 1/2" off:

Everything else lines up so I'm going to have to drill out the floor to make it fit. It isn't a big deal but goes to show that not all reproduction sheetmetal is the same.

AMD - Some of the best I've ever seen. I actually think they are as thick and heavy as originals, I am very pleased with them. They fit nicely, there was a little adjusting on the upper tail light area of the passenger side but other than that really clean and straight.

Chad, the passenger side one I bought has a issue between the taillight and back-up light. It’s not formed right. Is that the area on yours and what did you do to fix it.
