Im doing a project and of the 3 parts truck i have there is no way of making one good one. So i figured i would jsut buy new boxsides. I plan on running a short box. My question is what company makes the best ones. Im thinking that something made in the USA is better quality than those from asia. lol. Thanks

It is my understanding that a company called Tri-Plus makes most of the repro stuff. Goodmark pieces are made by Tri-Plus.

I was my understanding about a year ago that Mar-K stopped handing the 67-72 short bed sides. I was told it was their policy to get an order in, then hand pick through them, then send back the crap. They would crate and ship. Of course this all came at an extra cost, and they were being under sold everywhere.

Correct. I'd guess only one, maybe two places actually make these panels. Everyone is just a reseller
