Well it’s been a while since I been on this part of the forums and needing some info. Normally I can find stuff, but looks like I’m gonna need some stuff for a potential project. I might be getting a certain truck back I sold 16 years ago (and regretted ever selling it) and looks like it will need some TLC due to how it was stored used. To say it’s less than prestige is an understatement (the current steering wheel is a plank of wood). So I’m thinking when the time is right in a few years, I would start it as my next project. Thinking of new fenders, floors, rubber seals, glass, bumpers and such. Any ideas or sources?

Unfortunately a lot of sheet metal parts are on back order right now do to the pandemic and back log of ships waiting to be unloaded.
And yes, LMC s not high quality, but at least you can find a lot of the small parts that are hard to source from other vendors in one place.

think of LMC as the new Year One - nothing you can't get anywhere else for less money but all in one catalog.
I really hate to endorse farcebook but there's a lot of guys parting a lot of trucks over there.

LMC does have some patch panels I didn’t know know that was avalible, including ramcharger. Wonder if AMD will be making parts for dodges when the time comes to expand their line comes along?

Quality parts, junkyard. Even then you're getting oe Quality which wasn't great.
There's a place in, I think PA, that does Dodge truck parts but I can't recall the name. Good reviews on their sheet metal.
Roll your own on wiring. Chassis and drive train are no big deal, just stick with reputable brands.
Edit, Mill supply is a wholesale place, their stuff comes from Tabco, Sherman and others. They do have a heck of a selection, order their catalogs, including the step van catalogs, lots of interesting bits that can be used on truck builds.

Given the OP's address, the reality is, he may be better off locating a complete truck to get the good used parts he needs, especially if he needs a lot of stuff. He should be able to at least find good sheet metal in his area. The good used stuff will fit better then the new aftermarket stuff will, in most cases.
Once the truck is in his possession, the individual parts he needs can probably be sourced. As he has already found out, these old Dodge parts are not easy to find these days. Yesterday on FB somebody from Cali or that general area posted up a rust free tin grill cab for FREE because he bought a parts truck and took what he needed. In this part of the world a cab with less rust than the one ya got is an easy $500, apparently they can't give em away out there.

Thinking of new fenders, floors, rubber seals, glass, bumpers and such. Any ideas or sources? May want to go into better detail of what you need. Some stuff is reproduced but some you need to get good used or NOS. https://www.jimsautoparts.com/nos_truck_parts.htm

I used LMC stuff on three builds. 78 Chevy C10 short bed, 78 F250 high boy and a 77 W150 Macho Power Wagon. LMC is just like most any other reproduction supplier in that some of what they carry is good and some is junk. There exterior trim was junk on both the Chevy and Ford. On the Ford their h/l bezels didn't fit their grill. They didn't have a sending unit for their oversize fuel tank. Bumper mounts didn't fit the frame. On the Chevy the seat cover was 1.5" to small. Cluster bezel didn't fit and some other things that I can't think of right now. On the Dodge I didn't use much of their stuff but I did use their bumpers and carpet and both fit and looked good as did their door and glass seals. Dodge Connection is a sponsor on here and they carry some good truck parts. On body parts such as doors, hoods and fenders I would find nice originals. I never tried any Dodge body parts but I just crushed some new reproduction Chevy and Ford doors and fenders.

Maybe get hold of Steve Dulcich? He has a yard full of trucks on his farm. Seriously, I would love to look around his farm. Tim

I've only ordered a windshield, molded rubber flooring, and headlight adjusters from LMC. Hard to say the quality of a windshield, and the rubber flooring just so-so, and headlight adjusters were junk.
First place I go for stuff is ebay for NOS, although the prices are usually ridiculous. Fortunately mine does not need metal work, although I would like a driver's door because of all the holes drilled for many different mirrors and a few waves in the door.
