Looking for passenger fender panel and front bumper.

[gard]

Anyone have a good lead on body parts? I hit a deer this morning and I need a front bumper assembly, passenger fender panel, and a parking/signal light cover.

Anyone had luck with www.mitsubishipartssource.com?

found all of it but the signal/parking light assembly here. Guess I'll have to go with something after market for those. Lose the cool Japan stamp from the original ones, but it's either that or alcoholism after hitting that deer. I was on the downhill slide of my rebuild. Pricing carpet and upholstery materials, that'll have to wait a paycheck while I prep and paint this stuff.

Oh man that ain't good. Sorry to hear about you getting a take-down by rogue wildlife. Getting the front marker light shouldn't be a drama. Even if you can't get a decent repro unit someone can jam a good used one in a postal pack for you.

Not as bad as I was expecting, but not what you want to have happen when you have a nice straight truck.

All of those parts are still being made by an outfit in Thailand.

the turn signal lens is the toughest part to find for the 83 - 86 - took me a while to find a set.

lol, Don't feel bad... I hit a full size couch on the freeway that fell out of a truck bed years ago and it was worse looking. Funny though, 3 other vehicles hit this thing and all our fenders were bent almost the same way. :)

Sorry for the damage and hassle. But like geezer101 wrote, it could have been worse, like my truck-deer encounter:

I hope you turned that bastard into a full venison BBQ for it's efforts. Your poor truck got fubar'd badly :shakehead:

Kamikaze deer for sure...

Unfortunately there was no BBQ. We left the carcass for the coyotes 50 ft beyond the point I skidded to a stop. I thought about it, but at the time explaining the possession of an out-of-season road-kill deer to the RCMP or US Customs seemed a greater challenge than just getting the truck 300 miles home. After some intensive care and extensive reconstructive surgery, the truck was back on the road by the coming spring.

The explanation was all over where the front of your truck used to be. You were able to drive it away after that? They're a tough ol' beast...

No, it had to be towed. The radiator, water pump, distributor cap and battery were all toast. I also found later the timing chain had jumped a tooth or two. After restoring it, my daughter named the truck “Bam!!by.”

[gard]

Perfect naming. I can definitely say it could have been way worse. Luckily it was a baby, and hit
to one side.

[geezer101]

I would've been very surprised if it didn't end up that badly damaged. It jumped the timing chain :shock:
