You've got it. I always check Motorhaven first. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any parts there that I have needed so far.
Since my truck is basically being rebuilt piece by piece, I'm sure I'll find something there eventually.

Found Parts
Thanks everybody for the replies, I went to the local salvage yard and they had quite a few F150's there. I found a drivers door that was in pretty good shape with working glass and all. I paid a little more that I wanted too ($100.00) but in the long run it is worth it. Buying one new was an option but I would have had to replace all the seals and hardware and the glass in the truck now doesn't work. The new ones I've been getting prices on are from $60.00 from JC but you have to add $75.00 for shipping and the local parts stores I could have bought one for $113.00 with no glass or hardware. The fenders I will buy new, any comments on quality of suppliers out there? I have heard the JC has cheap stuff and I do not want to go that way.
BTW I'm putting a 86 door on a 83 truck. I think I may go back and salvage the seat of that truck also.
Thanks
Rob

What years are compatible if any with the 83 F150 for body parts such as fenders and doors?
Yakk, I'm assuming that the F/Bronco fender is compatible with the 83 F150? Also does it have the glass and internals?
Thanks

I believe 1980 thru 1986 will work.

Door vent windows: Vent glass is same and WILL interchange 80-96, but trim and post are different. Years post will interchange----80-86 / 87-91 / 92-96.

I'm guessing they dont sell new cabs or beds (steel or fiberglass) for an '83 F-100 Regular Cab. I've looked everywhere to no avail. I've been able to find ALL the other body parts except the cab and bed.
