Default In Portland with a 1980 D-50

Hello! I've a 1980 Dodge D-50 made into a 4x4. Currently fighting the "find the rare parts" battle. Apparently very few of these left in wrecking yards or being parted out privately. But it's a fun truck nonetheless!

Welcome to the forum. What kind of parts are you looking for? Not exactly sure what section to point you to on this forum, pretty sure you're the first with the D-50.

Thank you! Looks like these little guys are getting rarer. Spent 6 weeks tracking down a good condition used intake manifold for the 2.6 liter. Found the last DUCT, HEAT in the US that is new in the box. That took 4 weeks and many orders which ended up "no longer available." SOMEONE must have a stash of these parts when the dealers cleaned them out!! Any links? Thanks! Avoid Quality Auto Parts ... hustlers who drop-ship the wrong part and then refuse to communicate for resolution. Sara at Parts On Line is much nicer and finds the right part.

eBay once in a while has parts, usually aftermarket, but things like intake manifolds are hard to find. :-(

Have a look at the Wiki page for the truck. Seems this was made by Mitsubishi, and was badged under a selection of names, might check parts for 'other' version as well.
