Better off finding a donor bed. I speak from experience. ...when you buy from LMC or Brothers..with shipping.....and poor fitment AND thinner gauged imported metal, you'll be better off looking through salvage yards or craigslist.org

Simce you are in the rust belt....possibly look into Ca. or Az for parts. There is an abundance of square parts here in Az. If you need a Phx, Az parts source, let me know. There was another member who road tripped out here from the MidWest with a flatbed for rust free cabs and beds.

You can find a fairly decent aftermarket drivers side panel, floor, tailgate, header panel and wheel wells. It's the passenger bedside you cannot find that's worth a crap. These are the best parts but they don't have everything. http://www.autometaldirect.com/body-components-c-23.html

I'll double down on AMD. They make good stuff. I bought a set of Z28 fenders for my Camaro, and the fit/finish/thickness was great. Zero complaints. I have read many times that they are one of the few manufacturers that really cares about their parts - and making them right.

If you cant find a decent original, AMD is the way to go.

AMD does all their own stamping.
