Quarter panel.. Where to find one....

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows where I should go about getting a quarter panel. My best friend puts quarter panels and bedsides on all day at one of the best bodyshops in my area and he is helping me put it on. He was trying to order it from his shop and the parts guy said that GM wasn't making them anymore. I was wondeing if this is actually true, I really don't want to go with aftermarket but if I have to is there anywhere anyone thinks that I should look? Thank you all for any help.

Classic Industries also has them- www.classicindustries.com .
You might also try to look in local junkyards for them. I can get four or five within 1/2 hour from me for less than half of what Classic Industries wants for a new reproduction, considering I also have to paint to match.

boneyard is a good choice if you can get them to cut it off without using a torch. The good thing about that is it's guaranteed to be a good fit. Aftermarket is usually a gamble on fitment, although I'm hearing more and more good stuff about goodmark industries.
