Dennis Carpenter makes the best cab mounts. Other vendors actually sell their products as their own, just relabeled. I wouldn't buy anybody else's that are a structural component.

Here's my :2cents: All of them get their patch panels, fenders, aprons etc from the manufacture in China. From a pricing stand point, Dennis Carpenter is the way to go. :thup: :thup: :thup:

Strongly consider American-made panels from TabCo: https://tabcoparts.com/pickup-trucks/fo ... -1972.html
