Changing Blazer Quarter Panel, skin or whole panel? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Blazer D/S quarter panel is beyond repair and needs to be replaced. It is still straight and the inner panel and "b" pillar is in good shape.
To work with (donor) I have a nice short fleet bedside.
I have read posts where members use the skin only while leaving the inner panel and b pillar original to the Blazer- and some use the entire truck quarter and shorten it.
Which is quicker and easier?

I have heard it is easier to just do the skin. No need to drill and fix the rails for the top mounting.
