Re: C10 aftermarket doors
The doors have changed over the years. I have a set from 2005/2006 ish. I got mine to fit very well, but the skins are thin as a brand new truck, literally. Within the past couple of years, the skin has gotten much better, almost OEM thickness, however I've read some people have had issues with fitment at the hinges and door latch area now... so... its kind of a crap shoot. I would suggest finding a supplier close to you and drive there to pick up the doors in person to make sure you're happy with how they look and the gauge of the metal. I kept my OEM doors (I sucked with welding 10 years ago) and plan to repair the little bit of rust they did have in the corners. I can spot a set of OEM vs aftermarket doors immediately on ANY truck. The aftermarket doors are "straight" all the way across, even at the front of the door. Look at any set of OEM doors, there's a very subtle, but noticeable curve along the front edge of every OEM door. The aftermarket doors do not have this curve.
Given your location, I'm sure there's a parts house in Raleigh, if not, NPD is located in Charlotte. A few hour ride is much better than paying truck freight! I'm in Greenville SC and I know of at least 4 places I can get parts from in person within 2 hours or less.
