I need doors for my 76 D100. Mine are rusted to hell. Called every junkyard in the area (Dayton, OH). Nobody has them. If you guys know of anyplace or anybody near OH let me know. I found some NOS doors for $250 each If i bought those it would cost more than my truck did. Also My bed is in real bad shape. Anyone know where I can get one of those too or a used flatbed that will fit my truck. Do all flatbeds bolt up to 1/2 tons?:help:

You might try craigslist, or one of those 'penny-saver' kind of newspapers, and see if anyone is parting a truck out, or selling a whole truck for 'parts'...

I would imagine a flat bed could be made to fit just about anything..

Now you know why I sell doors complete for $100-150 :) These trucks are getting hard to find, especially w/ good body panels. Unless you find them local in a junkyard, you're gonna have to spend some money. Even if you find someone selling good ones cheap, if they aren't local you'll have to pay shipping, which will be pretty expensive for a door. Probably around 75-150 shipping, depending on where it's coming from.

If you don't find any, I can get you some and possibly save you some on shipping, I have a friend who goes to West VA and Ohio several times a year visiting family. He might be able to haul them up w/ him, if he has room on a trip, maybe for gas money. If you don't want real nice doors (ie if dents are okay as long as there is no rust) or the guts, I can probably round up some door shells for cheaper than a hundred.

I wonder why some parts of the country seem so 'barren' of parts and other parts of the country, they're falling out of the trees?
I guess I ought to thank my lucky stars that the 'pick a part' in Spokane always seems to have at least a dozen trucks in there at any one time. It really wouldn't occur to me that I couldn't find a part I needed up here... Most of the time, it's choosing the 'better' ones of the bunch. Might also be a good idea to start buying parts, even if I don't need them... :IDEA:

I have a whole truck that runs great with a slant 6 auto, great bed and good doors for 400. I can possibly haul it to dayton area soon. Really great parts truck, pa title is missing so it's of no use to me. I'm near Pittsburgh. I'm keeping the wheels for my boat trailer, and the cap is for sale seperately, it fits a 94-01 truck.

Newcastles doors would fit, but the 'body lines' wouldn't match ... As his have that extra 'line' ... (Not trying to ruin a 'sale' for ya bud, and maybe dodged100 doesn't care that it's not quite right, but it wouldn't look quite right... ;) )

I ought to bring dodged100 some doors ... I've always wanted to visit the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.. :D:D:D

yes, seems out west you guys got all the great bone yards...here it is like maybe one truck and two or three ram chargers..the prices are rediculous. yesterday I found a ram head base i needed and a durango vent...guy said $25 takes em both...I said that is too much thinking we would haggle and he said fine and threw them in the trash.

you're right about the body lines, It's been awhile since I've had an older dodge. This one's actually my brother's and it has to go. I really don't want to scrap it, there's too many good parts. If it had a title it would be completely roadworthy. Maybe a bill of sale would work in another state. I dunno. Seriously put the word out, if anyone's interested in this thing I'd really appreciate it, we're having a liquidation sale
