G-Body body panels

outside of finding a O.E. panel for sale out in the wild,all you're left with an aftermarket panel.they're all pretty much a crap shoot fitment wise.the only thing i can recommend is if given the option,go with the full panel that includes the sail panel(part that goes up towards the roof)vs the one that is missing that.
coming from a technican stand point it's a much better repair,the full panel seams at the factory location so it's less bodywork than the shorter one.if you're having it done by someone else then none of this matters.
Ok, Thank you for your time. Everything I read agrees with you about being a crap shoot. are any of the vendor better to deal with? Summit, Jugs, OPG...
I'd try for a used OE panel before I'd buy an aftermarket.
NOS if you REALLY love the rig.
Repros are all over the place as far as fitment, and are generally not the same gauge sheetmetal as the originals
Here's an axample of the fit of reproduction sheetmetal... https://gbodyforum.com/threads/the-spotted-thread.26005/page-259#post-965382
True, not all are that bad, but you won't know until the money is already spent
