I've used Tabco, was happy with both fit and finish. Same gauge as the OEM panel.
They've also had good feedback from others on this site.

Are you talking about the 73-76 panel with the exposed fuel filler?

As others have said, tabco is great quality. I've used an LMC rear wheel arch on a previous truck I had and it was pretty thin compared to what I got from tabco for my current truck. I have used their wheel arches, floor pans and cab corners and can say that they nice. Nice thick gauge steel.

thanks for the reply's, im gonna order 2 of the door skins and find the best shape rusted doors i can and fix them. Were changing the frame right now sense the kid hit me. Im tired of fighting with the junk after market doors, just wish the skins were 100% but those 90% skins should be the ticket if the quality is pretty fair.

i just sold a rust free 8' box and opting to put after market complete skins on mine. This way after i cut off the factory skins i can see what is going on inside,my floor and inside panels are rust free. Even though the box i sold showed no rust,being its from Michigan it is happening inside where it cant be seen.
