Hi, I am traveling out to Florida at the end of the year on holiday and to try to get some parts for my 1997 Ram 1500 extended cab short bed truck. Can anyone help with any good parts stores around the International Drive area in Orlando? I am looking for normal service items like bulb,filters,spark plugs,rotor caps,etc etc. but may also be looking for a drivers door,carpet set,seat covers,bed top cappings and other larger items that will need shipping back to the U.K. I would like a friendly store that could arrange the packing but will allow me to fill in the customs forms and mark them as "gifts" so I don't get stung for import tax on the parts for my own truck. If anyone can help with this or a good shipping/ packing company it woul be much appreciated . Many thanks.

 

Have you tried rockauto.co.uk? They may actually have the parts in the UK. That would save you shipping overseas. If not they have great customer service and could probably figure something out.

There are a couple places in the UK that sell genuine Mopar parts:

As well there are some Dodge dealers in Ireland, it may be easier to ship from Ireland than the U.S.

I really don't know about stores in Florida but some other members may. I do know how difficult it is to ship items overseas, especially motor parts.

Also, if you don't mind me being curious, where did you get your ram and what sort of drive is it (left or right hand)? I looked/am looking into going to school in Britain some time ago and didn't know they had Ram's over there
