I just picked up a super clean 1974 Plymouth Trailduster. Its missing a few things, and I am having the hardest time finding a good parts source for the Mopar truck stuff.
Any ideas? Or am I going to be chasing stuff down all over the place?

The best place to find parts depends on what parts you need. If it's typical truck parts that a normal truck has dodgeconnection is a great source. If it's ramcharger specific good luck.

This thing was a total score. Big block and removable top...what more could you want....and it came with a 69 Dart GT to seal the deal....

If it's an early 74, ya scored a total unicorn. (half doors)

Thought this thread went on longer than it did but it's a starting point and if ya can't get a lead there, ya won't find it.

https://www.ramchargercentral.com/threads/traileduster-parts-suppliers.330484/

some of my faves:

Detroit Muscle Technologies - repo rubber bits you won't find anywhere else
Vans Auto - repo exterior trim, be careful on website - the layout is horrible.
RockAuto - actually have better prices on Legendary Interiors vs buying direct.
FB market place - prices, quality and scumbags vary widely but I've made good great scores.

The LMC Truck catalog / web is a pretty good place to get a feel for what's out there but everything they carry can be had cheaper elsewhere. Ya know, the basic Year One scenario.

In a nutshell:
It's a Mopar and it's not a muscle car so pretty much forget the usual after market / reproduction sources.
Just about everything that fits a 72-93 Dodge truck fits an RC.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be a Chrysler.

show us what ya got and tell me what ya need

Thanks for that link....good stuff. Really appreciate it.
Yes, its an early 74 with the half doors...and virtually rust free. There was no way I was walking away from that....

1/2 doors, factory big block and minimal rust (even by Dodge standards) - would be tough to walk away from any ONE of those.

RWG named the good ones. I also find some stuff on Ebay but quite often over priced. I have also found some good stuff on van's. I just bought an nice repro am/fm antenna there.

Tail light lenses and the adventurer tail light trim is fairly easily found.

Vans repops the sport mirrors.

There is no source for the roof side window gasket. Some guy on FB says he's working w/ some vendor to develop them so maybe coming soon. On the flip side, have been hearing the same thing about roof to body gaskets for years.

Body side moldings can be had but it will be hunt, forget finding the original style clips and look for something universal.

Check out Jungles board.

There is no one place to find everything you are looking for. Post your needs and someone will reply where to find it. Another option is to find NOS(new old stock) parts. I have the original part #'s for most things if you need it.
