Dodge truck parts source?

Hey folks, I'm still a Ford guy but recently picked up a '77 Dodge W300 and I was wondering if anyone knew of a parts source? I'm looking for something like LMC where I can get OEM style parts, exterior and interior.

Thanks for any help!!

Yeah, that's what I feared, strange there isn't someplace doing the repro. parts thing for these trucks, too bad too, I'm sure many of them are dying too soon due to lack of "affordable" parts, or lack of any parts available at all.
This is my very first Chrysler vehicle of any kind and I have to say I'm very impressed by this truck, it's a 1-ton with the factory dually rear and you'd think a 318 would be wheezy but man, it pulls like a mother! And the carb looks like a motorcycle carb, never seen one so small. Haven't been able to put it on the road due to rust but it sounds and looks mean!

Anything older then 94 you have to rely on junkyards, and craigslist, and ebay. Happy hunting, it would be neat to see another one saved and back on the road. Them LA blocks can take a beating and they feel like they have way more then other small blocks, I've had 318's and 360's do alot of work, the body fell off before the engine gave up. I love that front bumper, thinking of making something like that for my Dodge van.

Try the Mopar Mailing List - Mopar Mailing List

It's an email-based mailing/forum list that is full of people that know about all aspects of Mopars.

I was on it for a while when I was driving the Fury around regularly and they helped me with some of the issues I was having with it - I even got a couple of cam recommendations from them when I figured out what was wrong with it...

If you don't want the list going to your regular email, just set up a Gmail account for it...

Just a thought...
