They all sell the same sheetmetal. Those panels are made overseas by companies who will sell to anyone with the money. If you can get doors, firewalls, complete floors shipped by freight that's one heck of a deal.

LMC is a good place.

I have not used their sheet metal but I have used metal from Classic parts and Tabco. I ended up liking the parts from Tabco much better. For stuff like cab corners on my 64, the ones from Tabco worked and the other ones did not. Most of the patches you find from LMC and others are made in Taiwan or China. The ones I have gotten from Tabco were made in the US.

Brad,

Here is the link for tabco:
http://www.tabcobodyparts.com

If you can afford it get you bed parts here:
http://www.mar-k.com/

These guys are the best on that stuff.

That is my 2 cents worth. I wish I had gotten all my body parts from these guys.

I just finished putting right floor and outer cowl in from LMC they were not an exact match but worked out pretty good. For instance the battery door did not fit in the replacement floor. The corner curves on the opening were not deep enough. I reworked the corners on the cover to fit the new floor. This was on a 52' the rear cab corners look pretty close so far. I will order from them again. Fitting is required.

Yea, if you can get US made parts go for it. Tabco has a very limited selection but Mar-K is THE place to buy your bed parts... they are all made in the US. Sorry for assuming you were only looking for cab parts.
