Question Best place to buy window channel and door panels?

Ive been googling and searching ebay for a while now, I need a passenger side window channel for the 82 Trekker, the previous owner removed mine and the spare tire had been sitting on it and it is totally twisted and shot. Would channels from an 84-89 fit my doors? Also, no local bone yards have any pre 84 pickups, do other year door panels fit the early trucks? I guess I could pull one out of my 88 and test fit it but Id really rather not do that!

LOL, I may end up building new panels, Id really like to keep it stock if possible!! There used to be rows of these trucks in the local bone yards, sadly they are all gone these days!

you can try other door panels, but i bet you'll at least need pre-84. i pulled some prestine black panels off a 78? 2wd and they are a little different style. they don't go over the top of the door like the originals (which i kinda like) and the door handle and window crank are in the same spot so i'll be happy with it. i just have to drill some holes for the little plastic retainers i have.
