He has a dually, but he got the fenders from the salvage and I don't think he said what type of truck they were on. Anyway, he has said they were kind of dinged up, so maybe aren't worth grabbing. I just know I spent $50 each for a NOS set, so thought they might be worth grabbing.
I went back to the junkyard today and got a few more trim pieces. I got the dash bezel, the two a-pillar pieces, a clock, antenna, & I got the piece that surrounds the radio. Also scored an old Pioneer Supertuner cassette deck out of the same truck and it seems to work.

The rears are dinged up and one side had a pretty good dent. Dont know if it's worth getting them. They could be repaired if someone really needed a set.
The wheelwell trim on the right front is gakked up pretty good.
Here's the driver's door I'm working on to put on the truck. Got the regulator bolted back in and tested the motor. Can't get the power lock actuator to work yet....
Chris, the power lock actuators not working is a common problem. Do they move freely? If not, you will need to disconnect them. They are a small 12V motor with a hollow shaft that works by moving a rod with what is essentially a very coarse threaded screw. Once they quit if it will still move the brushes may be bad.
Later power lock actuators are a gear rack design and are fairly inexpensive aftermarket (Dorman), but the plug is different. I don't know exactly when they changed, the 1990 F-250 I used for part of mine still had the old style actuators. The 1993 - 1996 trucks I got parts from at various junk yards all had the newer style.
If you really feel like driving someone crazy, find a set of later rear doors with full power and get the harness parts for them at the same time then you will have an option that wasn't available on the bullnose crew cab. FWIW, the doors from 1980-1996/7 will bolt on, the door panel retaining clip locations changed starting in 1987. As far as I know, the 1987-1991 panels will fit, with one minor difference, the width of the front window channel and window glass changed 1n 1987 and the inner "fuzz strip" changed length to match.
Finally an update after a few weeks, had to step back and let the truck sit after I got frustrated. Anyway, I got the replacement hood and fenders fitted. Still have to replace the driver door and fix the cab but what a difference the 'new' front end makes. I really like the wheelwell trim too.
Washer pump works now.
[B]This shows just how much the old fender and door were squished:
I sure wish my front bumper looked that good! mine looks horrible. I'm going to paint mine silver in the spring as well as freshen up the grille. Truck sure is coming along!
