I just bought one off of ebay. Its an import reproduction and the seller painted it to match my paint code. It came in with some orange peel but for a total of $270 shipped I cant complain.

Try an auto-salvage. I am like a kid in a candy store at one. You can find all kinds of needed truck parts and neat accesories there for cheap and many times the part you need will still be in very good condition. Also, you can see all the other vehicles destroyed and say better thiers than your own.
