1980 Dodge Ram van b250 silly questions
Hi Guys.
I'm in the uk and I've just purchased a 1980 Dodge Ram van b250 (see profile pic) now I know nothing about these, but I just saw it for sale and loved it! It was off the road for 8 years and I drove it 60miles to my house.
I need to get a few parts for it, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the uk and was wondering who are the best company for bits in the U.S? Also there is a 1991 dodge van breaking in the uk, am
I right in thinking most parts are still the same the same or
At least interchangeable? I need a windscreen/windshield and it looks the same shape and I also need front callipers as mine are seized, I was sure if they were still using the same system on the newer vans. I also need a drivers front fender, are these available still.
Many thanks Greg

There aren't too many that will ship internationally. Your best bet is to order from https://www.rockauto.com as they have good prices and will ship internationally.

right off the bat, while changing calipers get the front rubber brake hoses changed also...
they break down internally, don't allow the calipers to move back after braking and will wear your pads and calipers prematurely
I have had good success with Rockauto as allloro said...
what kind of mileage do you have on it? and what engine size?

Thanks for all the replies guys. I've been on rockauto and they seem to have most things and are really cheap, im pretty sure the carriage is gonna double most prices, so will try to order everything I need together. I will check my calipers/brake hoses out the weekend then Rsdata as that's exactly what they are doing, but I will probably replace them anyway as I need the van to be reliable and safe it's been parked up for over 8 years. It's the 3.7l slanted 6 with a 4 speed box. Are fenders still available guys, my passenger one is really rotted.
