Mid Fifty says the made in China steel rear fenders fit good but are thinner metal than the original. The made in USA fenders are better, made using original Ford dies just like factory.

There are some driver's doors with locks, but they were an upgrade (5 star cab) and not very common.
Thanks for the clarification, I will ask a set of keys to the driver's door, know if it is difficult to adapt?

It is not difficult to install driver's door lock. 1.Drill hole in door. 2.Install lock. You may want to order 2 door locks and ignition switch all keyed alike so all will use 1 key.
