Its exceedingly difficult to separate the various brands to determine who actually makes a sheetmetal part and who they compete with. Dynacorn and Woodall, AMD, and others like Goodmark all make competing designed parts but they are marketed and sold through individual catalog companies like LMC who are only distributing those designs so its really really hard without literally buying one of ever manufacturers things to say what does and doesn't fit. I have two reproduced front fenders that fit great but have no markings - came to me on trucks. LMC has done a great job of marketing its brand and sending every man woman and child in America its catalog, so they are super well known but none of their parts are the higher cost better quality variety. Call the guys at Southern Kentucky classics or CPI Truck in roanoke AL and ask them what they have learned and why they only sell certain manufacturers parts (so they can stand behind the sale better and not get blasted for fitment issues and have irritated customers calling wanting their money back) these guys have reasonably good parts and I have had good luck with everything I have bought from them.
