Sources for Toyota part

Looking for information on places to find parts for my 1976 Toyota long bed pickup with a stock 20r motor.

What parts? The internet is thick with engine parts. The classifieds will probably have some other parts, and of course junkyards. You aren't going to be able to easily find as many used parts as you would for a slightly later model, with 4wd. But they're out there.

So far I have been able to find every part I've needed for my 20R engine.

Try these places. It's pretty general since you didn't say what kind of parts you're looking for so I'll assume anything and everything. Hope it helps!

Yea, it was a bit vague of me, but I did just pick it up last night! I am going to find out soon enough as to what I need vs what I want, and what is absolutely necessary. Thanks for the help y'all.

Yeah, for doing repairs to mechanical parts, 90% of what you need is out there to be found from regular old auto parts distrubuters and the Toyota dealership.

For interior parts and body parts, like going for a partial or full restore, you're going to have to do a lot of searching. You either need to find stuff used, but in better shape than what you have, or do a LOT of research for new parts.

Some companies make body panels for older trucks, but these early 2wd pickups were just not popular enough for the aftermarket to take them on. Some parts made for other vehicles will fit, but you've got to do the research to find out what fits and what doesn't, what's a "universal" fit that you can make work and what really fits like it was meant for your truck. And learn how to modify parts to fit your truck.

Enjoy the journey...
