So I have searched but not really found what I need ( & maybe it doesn't exist) but I was looking for some websites for good new or used parts for the 80 720. I really need a passenger side tail light. I have tried local salvage yards but nothing for the under the tailgate lamps. I really need to get this thing inspected and on the road.

Funny I bought it to tote my surfboards around and have been busy with other fun activities at the beach. ;) Haven't driven it all summer. Plus the surf has sucked this summer.

Anyway, any help would be great.
Thanks

Only place I've found to get things like that for a reasonable price is to wait until somebody local is parting out a truck on craigslist and ask them for it.

I did find on on ebay for about $40 shipped but I am weary of that. I am sure it has some catch.

And I have tried craigslist a few times but don't see them often. And last time I wanted to buy a Weber off of a 78 that was being parted out the guy never responded to my emails.

I really need to find a new bed but that will have to be local. Oh well looks like I will have rust holes the size of my fist for now.

You might try a search engine that will search Craigslist in multpile cities all at once. There are no fees, or catches.

Try www.searchtempest.com and choose what distance from your zip code you want it to search. For large stuff, just choose the number of miles you are willing to drive. For small stuff, you can search the whole country if you want.

I use it all the time to search for stuff I want and it works great. Play around with it and you will see how easy it is.

If you have questions just send me a PM.
