HELP! I wrecked my 1988 pickup! Need advice!

I have a 1988 Toyota pickup 2wd. It only has 74,000 miles and runs like a champ. I know I'm not a regular on here posting, but I do read the forums from time to time. A few weeks ago, I was involved in a minor crash and my pickup suffered some front end damage. The motor was not damaged in any way, its just body.

I'm going to fix it up, but I am looking for some parts/advice on what I should do.

I've already got a new bumper, I need to get a new right front fender and at least one parking lamp and turn signal. I've got an estimate from a body shop which I think is fair to straighten it out so the new parts can be bolted on.

The grill and air dam can be bent back into place. The headlight still works just fine.

Should I get two new parking lamps and turn signals, or just replaced the single damaged ones? I have been looking on ebay and google, but does anyone have any suggestions where I can get these parts? Does anyone have any extras they are willing to sell?

I am in South Florida.

Any suggestions???

I've got two factory 2wd drive fenders off of an 87 in excellent shape, three spare grills (1 chrome and 2 black) parking lights and signal lights with chrome trim and black trim. The black grill and accented lights came off of an 85 pickup, the chrome off of an 89 4Runner. I'm on the East Coast, but in Canada. If you cannot find the parts that you need closer, keep in mind that I do have most of what you need.

85-88 pick-up. 85-89 4Runner, but 4 runner fenders have the same flare as the 4wd. pick-up fenders, but the grill and signal and marker (parking) lights are the same.
