I've had good luck with ebay and craig's list but you have to know what your looking for.
The obsolete parts dealers are probably the most expensive but you know what your getting (NOS). LMC, National Parts Depot, and Dennis Carpenter have reproduction and NOS parts. Some of them can be a bit pricey.
You will probably have the least amount of luck with a Ford dealer. As soon as you say "I have a '77..." They'll cut you off and say either "ALL parts are obsolete" or "we can't look up the part, our catalogs only go back to 1980."
On having a dentside, be prepared to spend money to keep it running. Look at it like they are a drug and you're an addict, new parts are your momentary "fix".
Have fun.

Pretty sure members in your area could help, if they knew what area you were from. I have many many parts that are available, none are in any for sale adds, but without knowing where you are at, makes assistance a little more difficult.

Door panels and sunvisors are both reproduced in the aftermarket, probably the best repros come from Dennis Carpenter. If your looking for XLT door panels you won't find those available other than used.
As far as a rear fender goes I'm sure that is reproduced as well.

LMC has the rear fender for $319.95, Dennis Carpenter has the same fender for $325.00. Dennis Carpenter is much better quality using heavier gauge, galvanized steel, so the $5.00 price difference doesn't matter. Either one is kinda pricey. They both have door panels and sunvisors also. On occasion, Dennis Carpenter has off color panels for half price. These are the first panels produced after a color change and are streaky, blotchy or just off color and need to be painted to look good.

Fits: 1957/79 Flareside pickups.
Every May, the three day F100 Super National's truck show and swap meet is held in your area.
The past several years, it has been held in Knoxville. 2010, the event is moving to Pigeon Forge.
Looking for parts? This is the event to go to.
FTE has state chapters, suggest you contact the GA, TN or NC chapter to find out the dates for this event.
FTE sponsor carolina-classics.com has the fender at $325.00 (800-598-4211).
Carolina Classics is located in Durham NC, Carpenter is located in Concord NC, just up the road from Lowe's Motor Speedway.
There is a huge car/truck swap meet held at Lowe's several times a year.
If you decide to buy a new fender, it isn't that far a drive, and you'll save the 100 buck...or so shipping charge.
