Default Need some parts

I have a 1996 dodge dakota SLT Club Cab short box.
1. I need bed rail covers for it because of the topper. Where can I find some that will fit exactly. I've tried Ebay and some other stores. seems like its for 97-04 or whatever. Thanks in advance. I would also prefer the black plastic ones because they would match the bedliner.

2. I also need some clean doors and front fenders power windows, locks, and mirrors. preferably the same paint code too (PR4)

3. Drivers side door wont open from outside. The rod that connects to the latch from the outside handle moves, but it looks like the latch is too rusty to move. I suspect it needs the door latch assembly.

any recommendations on front and rear speakers?
any recommendations on a good headunit with Aux, USB, and bluetooth?

ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

i got pioneer 6.5's up front and removed rear panels on the extended and modified rear to fit 6x9's also pioneer cause price was right and added a dampening casing made from rubber to redirect sound... kinda made a small rubber box for it ... reason panel had to be removed for rear is you need to trim the metal and the pop off cover wasnt big enough to fit the 6x9 .. left for stock appearance

i picked up , on sale a JVC KD-R730BT but got it for 67 bucks .. answers, dials(voice control and full music access with display from my Note 2 and Iphone 5S then added a walmart special bass cannon behind drivers seat.. sound decent but nowere near my G6 monsoon system

okay as for a topper i just rock guarded the bed rail , adding plastic to edge then a cap makes for a slippery contact point... idk. just a thought, truck originally had foam strips which sealed it up nicely

as for body parts. your location would effect this as shipping wont be cheap .

well the 6.5 kickers in my nitro(factory equiped) and they were friggen awsome nice clear sound .. the 6X8's will still need some mods... to fit the 5x7 spot..

the Kenwood is a great unit.. i had similar(previous model older model) in wifes Jeep, great little unit .... the pioneer i got no experience tbh with pioneer decks just speakers.

Alright, Im gonna go with the kickers and the kenwood. Any idea on some bed rail covers? The topper scratched the crap out of my rails and I just want it to be protected if something is ever loaded over the bed rail. There's also a dent about a dime around in size that i plan on covering with the bed rail covers.

Also, I heard that the fronts are 5-1/4" not 6-1/2" openings. Is this true?

If it is, ill put these up front:

Thanks

yea factory size is 5.25" had adapters to fit the 6.5's so no modding, sorry forgot to mention that... i used something similar to this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-DAVID...-/120926473628

bed rail i just bed linered till 3/8 thick, myself looks good durable takes a beating when topper is off and leaves no skid for when cap is on and it matches the bed liner.

You can also get like diamond plate or something as such made, i had the diamond plat for my bumper made and wasnt very much all i had to do was weld it, they cut ,trimmmed made it to fit and even bent it LOL
