I have been looking at both the Blazer sides and pickup sides. What I have read, here and other places, is that new panels just dont fit real well and are not as strong (thick) as an original bedside. My budget is very thin and I dont mind a little fabrication. I also need a few patches for the bed floor thus thinking I could kill two birds...
