Keep your chin up. I also did not think I would find anything in the wreckers, but one day I was at a wreckers looking for something else when I came across a rust free truck front. Needless to say I bought the doors fenders and hood for my truck all rust free for about $125.00 canadian. Now to find a good truck box. Mine was hit on the left side and is rusted on the wheel wells and corners.
Oh my truc was not rusted except the box. It got vandalised when owned by previous owner, too much damge to doors and fenders. That is why I need my parts.
The other thing to save yourself search time is some wreckers will take your name and what you need and call you when they have something in tock. try that.
