Alright so I've fallen in love with the 80' 4x4 that I picked up recently. Damn near everything on it works including the A/C. It's pretty clean, stock, unmolested.
I'm wondering if there are any places making restoration parts for the first gen trucks. I'm looking for stuff like a rear view mirror, front light bezels, and other parts to clean up and complete the truck.
thanks for your help!

There aren't many real good sources for restoration parts. Your best bet is to troll through junkyards or do relentless searches on Craigslist, eBay and other similar sites until you come across something - that's what I have typically done. I have a list on the first page of my build thread that lists pretty much every part I bought and where I bought it. I update it regularly so keep checking back. Good luck!!

There was an Ebay seller selling replacement plastic bezels for early trucks. I bought a few after a deer wiped mine out. They're pretty decently built.

I have gotten really good with two part epoxy and interior paint. Some stuff you really dont have a choice in unless as mentioned you stumble into some hidden stash.

Believe it or not the dealer actually still can get a good number of the parts. Just he sure to use a discount dealer.

"Discount Dealer"??......isn't that a oxymoron?....

My local dealer, a dealer in NM, and one in GA give 25% off of list price. Not a bad deal for OEM parts.
