Have you tried finding one other than posting on here?

There are several online used parts search services. Here's a couple.

http://www.junkyarddog.com/

http://www.car-part.com/

There are many more if you just google "used car parts" or something similar.


I used the second one to find a front bumper for my '73 Custom Cruiser wagon. It's hit or miss, and some of the leads that turn up can end up being old and the part is no longer available. But with a little perseverance, you'll likely find something.

Be prepared to pay. I'm in Ohio and the bumper I bought was in Minnesota. It cost $75 for the bumper and $125 to ship it via a freight service. But the transaction went smoothly, and I got my bumper.

These things are not reproduced, and old cars are being crushed every day. During the course of my search, I was told a couple of times "oh, we don't have that car anymore. It went to the crusher." It was disheartening, and I sometimes wondered if I would ever find one, but I finally did.

So don't sit back and assume that posting your need on this site and waiting for the responses to roll in is all you have to do to find one. You'll likely have to be aggressive and put the internet and your dialing finger to work.
