Parts help

Since getting my new '83 F100, I've been scouring the online catalogues of places like LMC, etc. I'm trying to find interior bits like A pillar covers and other trim around the roof/carpet lining and can't seem to find them...

Also, I've found clear indicator lens for the front of the truck, but does anyone do matching clear lenses for the front guards?

Found lots of billet grilles, can anyone recommend any on price, quality and ease of fitment?

cheers!

There is not going to be too much demand yet for a lot of the stuff you listed, since the junkyards have so many still around. A little vinyl paint on some of that interior stuff and it's like new.

Thanks for that, I'll check with the local wreckers though I'm sure they will charge an arm and a leg...

Found one, rare as hens teeth supposedly, and it had the screw lugs broken off, but it should be held in by the screw and other trim pieces. Not sure what a new one is worth but, wasn't quite an arm and a leg.

There were at least three listings for the interior parts you want on eBay yesterday. And I've found the auction prices are almost always much cheaper than the boneyards.
