Best place to get 1st Gen body parts?

Guys-

I'm looking for a right front fender and a tailgate. Is there any good place online that I can buy these. I've checked some like LMC truck but haven't had much luck for my 89 350 4x4. Thanks.

I've been working on the local parts yard too but haven't had too much luck yet. Thanks.

I use car-parts.com. Gives you a lot of wreckers to chose from.

I might consider buying an aftermarket fender, but you will probably still have to do body work on it for it to look right. I have never seen an aftermarket tailgate that I was impressed with it. They are just too thin and they don't hold up the the abuse that a tailgate sees. Try to find one off of another truck. Check ebay and the classified ads. Usually you can pick up a decent one for $100. I just paid $40 for one at a swap meet.
