Default Replacement parts...where to buy?

I've always been a hge fan of custom cars and trucks. I always wanted an S-10 because it's smaller and the Dakota I have was in accident (thanks to me) and wanted to get rid of it but decided not to. I'm finding it hard to find custom parts for this truck. I wanted to get a suicide hinge set for it but haven't been able to find one. Also, does anyone know where I can find a replacement bed and right back door or should I just go to a junk yard and hope to find one that hasn't been dented? I plan on painting the whole thing over cause the hood and fenders need it too and I want to save money anywhere I can cause I'm a full time student. My main concern right now is getting all the parts replaced and painted and then worry about customizing it.
Any help at all would be great. I'm all alone in this.

ok, that must be the best find ever. I think I would blow a load if I found that.

how much did you get it for?

I would love to get a cowl hood but I cant afford to pay $450 plus how much it would cost to paint it.

I would get a 14" round air filter and rig it up to the cowl hood for some cold air. maybe next summer if nothing major breaks on the truck, then maybe I can afford one.
