Welcome to FTE Dimitri -

What size truck do you have, 1 ton?, and what kind of trim parts are you looking for. Some of the parts are next to impossible to get like the center hood piece unless you can find it at a swap meet. Other pieces are available remanufactured. Let us know what you're looking for and maybe someone can help.

Don't know if you're aware of it or not, but there is now an International Chapter for you guys not in the US or Canada. Here's a link.

Trim pieces currently being reproduced are the 15 grille bars (though lots are of fair quality), the center strip on top of the hood (in stainless steel, orig was plain steel). The die cast pieces on the hood are not reproduced, although they can be found on eBay usually. The hood side strips are also not currently being reproduced, and these are the toughest of all the pieces to find since many rusted away.

 

Thanks for your help
