Well.... I have a self inflicted wound that needs to be repaired. Unfortunately when I whet to the ins guy that is when my problems started. The old "Your repairs hit the 80% value threshold" occurred. I'm working with my agent trying to do this in house. My other problem is I live in the Snowbelt of northeast Ohio where Salt is King! All bodyshop parts suppliers can't find a door they will guarantee.

I'm on my own to source the parts and will go from there. Ideally I want to color match the door and fender and do the work my self. I've been trying to source a parts truck from the west/south. It looks like I missed several that would have fit the bill several months ago.

I thought I would throw it up here and see if anybody has any suggestions for good southern parts yards or contacts to work with.

Almost forgot; need front passenger door and fender. Electric door.
COLOR is Red. (The Bright Red).

Thanks

LMC Truck and JC Whitney sell the sheet metal "skins". Much less expensive than you might think. You would have to swap over all the innards, trim, seals, etc., then paint it, but would essentially end up with a new door.

Unfortunately I got a branch between the rear of the fender and the front leading edge of the door and peeled it all back. The hinges did not get bent. but the door is toast.

Might check with Dundee Automotive: http://www.pickuptrucksalvage.com/

I've got family in the area and they have a pretty good selection. I've stopped in there a few times when I've been out visiting.
