Interior of truck
I have a 1978 F100. Looking for info on where to find door panels, window trim, etc. I keep being told junk yards are the best place. I assume there are companies who still have them.

Beware of LMC's soft plastic and rubber products. They don't hold up well to UV light and heat... after a few years they split, crack, and crumble.
Also beware of their shipping costs. Try to group your parts according to the system you are working on because they base their charges on total cost rather than weight... a small box with lots of costly parts may cost more than to ship a single large part. For example, a parts lost cost of $80 requires a $20.... group your parts to maximize that $20 shipping cost.. therefore, shoot for $79.99! It's a stupid way to calc shipping IMO.

Thanks bro. I will start getting catalogs this weekend.
Order up catalogs from National Parts Depot, Dennis Carpenter, Mac's Antique Autos, and LMC Truck.

NPD and Mac's both have excellent customer service. LMC has "okay" customer service. I haven't had to use Carpenter's or Bronco Graveyard customer service.
Like HIO said, be wary of LMC's soft parts.
All of them have virtual online catalogs too.
