Body / Other accessories
I'm looking for some accessories for my 93.
I can't find any place that sells what I want, so ANY help would be greatful unless you say google it, or read the forums, because I have.
I NEED:
1 new tailgate (DODGE) not (Dodge Ram), or no-logo
2 Bumpers (front and rear) - something a little more "rugged" than OEM
3 Grille and inserts, preferably pressed steel (chromed plastic peels too easy)
4 Fenders
5 Light lens - front and rear sets
6 Roof panel (not the entire top, just the top skin and gutter - gutter and front are rusted out, prefer to replace than to patch)
I WANT:
1 Windsheild sun visor
2 Hood scoop with functional cold air intake
3 Roof (safari) rack (odd on there, I know - may need to be custom fabbed)
4 Sliding rear window, dual sliders not single, OEM OK
5 Tall (trucker's type) mirrors with OEM bracket / mounting
6 wheel well trim pieces, preferably metal - wide enough to stop slinging mud from wider tires
7 LED light kits for tail, break, reverse, turn signals and parking lights front and back - all basic lights except headlights
Other things:
1 full cab interior (door, trim, dash, belts, seat, ceiling)
2 WOOD dash (where the guages/switches/radio are - not the top part / glovebox area)
3 behind the seat storage - more like a toolbox style than fabric pockets
4 Ceiling liner with speakers, radio/CB slot, guages (over driver side) and storage (over passenger side) (must be able to be modified for moon roof window)
5 Moon roof / vent - single glass with hinges and latch - small enough to fit behind a row of clearance lights, and shallow enough for roof rack
6 Brush guard - wrap around, sides and bottom - square tube prefered, and a place to mount a winch (or pass-through area)
7 Spare tire swing arm to go over tailgate, with clearance for topper
8 conceiled, fender and bed wall mounted paintball guns, under bed smoke bomb dropper, and a front mounted smoke bomb launcher - ok, not really :D
Many of these things I can find, but not for first gen body style. They're either "universal" and will not fit right, are for Chevy or Ford, or are for newer models of Ram. The only "universal" things I don't mind using are parts that don't conform to the body contours - such as roof rack, Spare tire arm, Bumpers, roof window, as long as they won't have large visable gaps and has proper performance. I know everything on the list does exist either directly for the first gen bodies, or an acceptable universal. The ONLY exception to this is the wood dash. I've either seen these parts in use in person (and not been able to talk to the owner or the owner purchased the truck as it is) or in pictures.
The problem I'm having is finding places that still sell this stuff with out charging Mafia extortion rates. Though, I did find fenders and grill for about $100 for each piece. I only found one supplier, so I'm not sure if that's a good deal or not. I can't imagine only one company is selling new fenders though.
Later, after I get her looking nice, I'm going to start an engine rebuild, suspension and drive train overhaul, wiring and piping replacement, and probably even a frame strip and paint. That will come much later though :)
Thank You in advance for ANY help you can provide for any of the parts I'm looking for, or for any info regarding my project here. And I appologise for the infinatly long post.

I'm sorry, but this truck is very much worth it to me.
To everyone else, Thank You VERY much for the links.
Some are new, though some I have checked (Summit, JCWhitney)
I can't find stuff on their sites easily
