Best Aftermarket box sides

What are the best quality aftermarket replacement box sides, need the best quality I can find. It is virtually impossible to get a box as good as this one I have but due to a poor repair man years ago the wheel wells and inner wheel house is bad. Thank you

I got mine from NPD a few years ago. They are (or, at least, were) same gauge as originals and the stamping lines are nice and sharp. I did a trial fit and it all looked good. Still haven't had time to do the actual install though...it's turned into a real loooong term project .

It's really hard to know where these actually come from. I ordered a high end tail gate from Dennis Carpenter and it arrived in an LMC box. I'm happy with the quality of the item. It was just as DC advertised it. We probably need an investigative reporter working under cover to get the real story. Hearsay has it that the raw panels are stamped in China and sent to various places in the US for final assembly. AMD and Brookville Roadster claim to do everything in the USA. If you've got the bucks, you can have any popular vintage car you like. For example, you can own a 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 for a mere $285K. What a deal.
