LMC vs. BOTP body panels

Does anyone here have experience with both BOTP and LMC panels? I've had some LMC bedside panels that were slightly dinged when I got them. I've noticed that BOTP is a bit more expensive, and if its because the quality is better than LMC I'll spring for them. Thanks for the help guys, I hope to get my cab in the shop this week!

I do not, but I think most places are selling the same panels anyway. I however ordered some weatherstrip from Blue Oval and it worked great.

I bought some bodyparts from raybuck.com and they seem to be nice and solid. Visually, they look identical in both color and dimensions to what Blue Oval has in their pictures. The only place that I can think of that actually makes most of their panels is Tabco. Dennis Carpenter makes a lot of other stuff so they might also. The big guys are probably selling panels from China/Taiwan but you guys can correct me if i'm wrong.

i have not purchesed any pannels from lmc i have been buying from npd mainly because they have a warehouse about an hour and half away and i dont have to spend the huge money in freight. i also think they are a few dollors less expensive than lmc. as for quality they seemed fine to me. i replaced both bed sides and a bed front
