Welcome! Make a list of desired parts and maybe you will find what you need. Or better yet, join us at the Garagemahal International and Domestic Meet in Sept. There will be a parts swap/sell area.

Thankyou, can you give me more info of where I may find the swap meet?
I am from Vancouver island in British Columbia Canada. I do have an address in Washington state I can ship to if I find parts.
I’m looking for manual door latch, door panels, I’m looking for the vinyl and the fabric to replace my worn seats , also the cross member under the carriage of the truck, it had a propane system in it at one time and now I’m converting it back to gas again , but I need the cross member, it was taken out to put a propane tank in the truck. And if anyone knows of where I may find the plastic interior covers for the canopy when it it on the truck, part of one of mine is cracked and broken. .thanks for all anyone can help with..sometimes frustrating finding parts..

The manual door lock as seen in this pic, but I’m missing the passenger side one . It’s a manual slide door lock. 
Thanks for your help.

If you are just needing the visible parts, let me look to see what I have. But I can’t look until maybe tomorrow.

Also, I think I have a pair of door panels you can have that have the slide lock cutouts. Don’t remember how good they are, but will look.

It helps for you to tell us which parts you need - by part number so there is no confusion. I have the regular cab interior trim part numbers here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/rear-corner-trim.html. But that doesn’t include the rear Bronco trim. So I’ll try to find time to put the Bronco info on soon so you can find those numbers and tell us.

Cash left me the door panels shown below to pass on to someone.  So, if you want to pay the freight they are yours.  Or, you could come to pick them up in Sept for the show.  Give me a zip code and I'll figure out the freight.

And if you want any closer or other pictures just let me know.

Re: 1981 Bronco

Thanks for the offer of the door panels , those are the exact door panels I’ve been looking for , I’ve spoken to another fellow on your site that has given me a number to door panels a little closer to me, but that is a fantastic offer and I so appreciate it.
I am in British Columbia , Canada, actually on the west coast.  I have a good friend in Washington state that I could ship things to if I find them.  
I would love love to come to the show, but unfortunately I won’t be able to make it this year.  I have prior commitments . 
Your site and the people on it have so helped me..awesome thanks so much. And especially for your kindness.

The offer stands, so if the other deal doesn't work out these will be here.  At least until the show/swap meet as they'll be offered there as well.

Anyway, glad we can help you.  I think you'll find that's the spirit on this forum.

Look what I found.  Looks to be either 1980's Green Pine or 1981's Spruce.  I'd say the outside pic with sunshine is the most accurate color rendition. Either way it is going to have to be painted to match your blue.

Just give me an address and I'll get it in the mail on Monday.

No prob.  But, do you want your address to be available for everyone?  I was expecting an email with the info instead of a post on here.  However, you can edit your post and take the address out.

Shipping to Canada may cost a bit more than I expected, but I'm happy to do that.  However, if you email me you could give me your friend's address.  Or, you could Paypal me the shipping to Canada.
