When I purchased my truck it was cracked at one end but I may sand it down and paint and sell it after

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with that picture haha. It didn't look right. And i would check lmctruck out too. I get all of my stuff from there. They are really reputable and have a pretty good selection.

I'd rather buy a nice used one over a new cheapo one that may be super brittle when cold or is super thin and will crack easier.

OEM parts are usually much heavier duty than aftermarket. Check out the classified here and on ebay.
