Question Panel replacement 2000 S10 Pickup to S10 Blazer

Little help with body rust repair panels Please
Does anyone know if I can use a 2000 S10 pickup 6ft bed lower bed section repair panel (front of rear wheel) to replace a 2000 S10 Blazer 2 door front lower quarter panel (front of rear wheel)?
These panel look the same does anyone know if they are the same?
There is about $25 difference in the panel price?
1994-02 Front Lower Bed Section 6FT Bed, LH from Raybuck auto parts online
or
1995-05 Blazer/Jimmy Front Lower Quarter Panel Section (2-Door) LH from Raybuck auto parts online

Thanks

IMO for $25 Im sure its worth it to get "Exactly" what you need and not have to cut,trim, shape, bend, drill, bondo or anything else................

heh.. I've had some experience in aftermarket panels and the 'exact fit' for what I used wasnt either of those.
So I doubt that they would have two part #'s for the same thing if there wouldnt be torture involved to make it work.

I didn't say there wouldnt be "ANY" but buying the wrong part if you have had any experience would lead you to buy the correct part so if any mods were needed they were minimal...........common sense. hence the lack of me saying 'EXACT FIT' but exactly the part identified for the model.....
