1980 4x2 Restoration

I'm on to my next Yota restoration. This time with a 1980 DLX Shortbed 4x2 pickup (beige on beige). I just grabbed the truck and it is mostly in great condition with 99% original parts, but a couple items do need replacement and I need help finding some tough parts that (either new or used) are in good, undamaged condition. Can anyone offer any suggestion or does anyone have these parts for sale?
* center console for 5 spd man tranny in beige
* dash top without df vents in beige
* bucket seats, any color can be reupholstered
* center wheel caps
* side vent grilles in grey/chrome

Thanks for any help you could lend. I'll be posting pix as I go.

I picked up a coverlay dash cover from JCWhitney. Took a bit of trimming of the orignal dash(the cracked spots) & glued it down.

Thanks for the heads up. I've seen those offered online, but was curious about how well they fit. Are you happy with the end results?

I am sure I have some of these parts. The 1980 center caps for the SR5 were metal. Depending on the rims you would need the beauty ring too. I have a couple center consoles around here, but they aren't beige. You would want to repaint them anyway. I do have a bench seat with the smaller seat console that came out of my 1981. PM me with your # and we can talk more ove rthe phone. I have tons of parts, most restoration quality.

Thanks for the heads up Robb. Hope I can help
