replacement panel opinions

Got to do the cab corners and wheel arches in the bed. LMC is the only company I am familiar with. What have you guys used and how have they been fit and quality wise. Thanks for the info.

I bought LMC's wheel arch (the smaller section) and am satisfied with the fit. The bodyline on the replacement arch isn't as crisp as the original. It didn't really matter in the end because the body line tapers to nothing and there is nothing to compare it to when simply looking at it.

The remnants went to patching rust holes in both doors.

LMC wheel arch's worked well for me. I used the bigger ones and they ended up warping in a little when I welded them in. But thats nobody's fault but mine. I bought some cab corners through Blue Oval Truck Parts and have yet to see how well they work. I'm sure that will be a blast.

I would try Tabco first. I used their floor pan and I can't tell you how happy I am with it. They use original gauge steel and the parts are made in the USA.
