Sheet metal from AMD seems to be the better choice.At the 2024 show we bought a new but dented LMC fender off a guy at the swap for $25. Had a few dings and we all know about the fit, but it was fine for a daily driver. I bought another scratch and dent LMC hood at the swap meet this year for $70. It had the year specific molding in front for the 78-80 trucks. It was brand new and again, damaged in shipping. So, what the heck, I walk over to the LMC booth on vendor's row and ask about their fenders. They have one RH fender for a 79 in stock. I ask to see it out of the cardboard before I pay for it. I told the salesman I've heard stories about LMC fit and finish and damage during shipping. He says "If I won't put it on my own truck, I won't sell it." Lol.
He opened the packaging and sure enough, the fender was dented in two places. He offered to knock $50 off the sale.
