Default A pillars wanted

Like the title says, The a pillars in my '99 have dried out and broken. I am hoping to find a source, used ones are probably in pretty bad shape also.

LMC Truck? Geno's Garage? Classic Industries?

I checked those sites and found nothing for my rig. I am quite surprised as the plastic quality of the second generation Rams is quite poor and there should be replacements available. I did see some at Geno's but they were for the later Ram trucks. I would also think that there are other guys with the same issue.

I know they still make the A-pillar trim with the gauge pods...... But, that would only get you the drivers side.

Even the newest of these trucks is 17 years old though, and there wasn't a lot of aftermarket support when they were new...... Might need to check on the used market....

I did not want to put gauges at that location, plus both pillars are broken. I did see some from Geno's for '03-'09 :https://www.genosgarage.com/category...lacement-parts. I wonder if I could get them to fit. E-bay has used ones, but they are extremely fragile as much of the plastic is, maybe it is the SoCal climate, as if the taxes aren't bad enough. I have already replaced the dash top. I guess I could get some help by calling Geno's and LMC.
