My experience with reproductions is that the quality, fit and finish is a function of the aftermarket truck supplier. For example, I have bought some top notch parts from one supplier in my area and compared it to the same part from another supplier in my area, only to discover one had a better finish for less or the cheaper one didn't fit as well, etc. Attempt to buy NOS (New Old Stock) or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts if possible. Generally speaking, I have found that many of the reputable aftermarket truck suppliers realize that the Stovebolt Nation is a pretty close-net group and word of a poor-quality part spreads like wild fire.
In any event, depending on the year, you should be able to buy new reproduction/replacement parts for about any year Stovebolt from a number of different sources. Unless you are looking to do a "period correct" restoration, most parts will satisfy the quality, fit and finish of original equipment. Remember, most reputable aftermarket truck parts suppliers are in the business to stay in business and will carry parts that will enhance their ability to do so.
Good luck with your plating or new parts decisions.
