What vendors are out there?

[matthufham]

i'm rebuilding a 72 chevy pickup so i know there's places like chevy duty, lmc truck and others that sell reproduction and NOS parts for older cars, but now my sister's 90 4runner (2wd) is in dire need of some fresh parts. we just dropped a new 4 cyl. long block in there, and it'll need new paint soon. the grill is faded to death, the door mounted mirrors shake and are faded as well, the sunvisors are broken... you see where i'm going with this. we need parts and i'm clueless as to what vendors sell old 4runner parts. i know i can hit the junkyards, but it's easier to buy new parts from a catalog. so who have you guys bought from in the past. ebay sells too many 4wd or truck parts and rarely a good part for my situation.

The best place I have found so far for factory parts is a dealership out of mechanicsville, VA. They have an on-line parts search at:

This is good for me because of the location: shipping is not too bad. But they also sell every part below MSRP so it is better than ordering at the local dealership.

thanks, but in texas i'm likely to find a closer alternative. they did however give me a good price check on a few things, however no interior parts like dashpads, and fuel door pull cord related stuff on the dash i need, and they didn't have mirrors... anybody else?

Here is another one

You enter in what you are looking for and it sends an e-mail to junk yards and they get back to you.

No correction--if they do not have it then they send out e-mails to junk yards.
