Body panels source
I’m sure this will bring debate, but I’m looking for complete fenders, lower cowl valence and some other replacement parts for my truck. I’m sure there is a million options out there on aftermarket, but who has had luck with fit and finish, steel thickness, and e-coating finish on these types of parts? Oem is out the window based on location, but I’d like the thickest steel with the best undercoating.

Where are you that if you could get OEM that it is out of the question?
I don't know if they will have what you are looking for put the patch panels I got from http://tabcoparts.com/
I and other were happy with what we got.

Tabco just makes replacement panels, but I am really impressed with their quality. Oem panels are either rotted out, or half rotted out and would cost several hours of repair to make worthy. Even then, it’s not worth $200 a fender... just wanted to see if there was a reasonable alternative, or if all the aftermarket panels are strikingly similar in quality, and fit and finish.
