Based on where you live, I would also not pass on donor bits and pieces. Maybe not for rockers or corners but other sheetmetal panels might still have plenty of life left if you can get to the dry air areas in a day's drive.
Many of us are envious (sort of) of you folks on the west coast where redeemable pieces still exist.

I use Classic parts mostly and have purchased a few patch panels. I agree with others - not perfect fit but you can make most work.
I did learn that all cab corners are not the same and you cant tell that by the part description. For example, buy a corner from one vendor and it is 8 inches across the back. Buy another and it is 13 inches across the back. The description will not tell or show you that. Price may be too close to know. Does not do anything for the fit necessarily, but the panels are different sized. My guess is that these differences result from different lots. Either sized part likely to end up on any of our vendor's shelves.
