ebay, that's where i would start. They have a lot of cheap stuff on there, and most of it is brand new. If not there, JC Whitney might have some front end clips for you. Good luck

I would look at salvage yards. I have a 93 and I need core support and left front fender. Remember the parts you buy are a cheep knock off of what you get from OEM.Parts are made in China and most won't fit right.. You can get them from a salvage yard from about $75 to $400 depending on the condition of the part and if you look hard enough you could probably find on the same color as your truck. Just a note. As I found out the core support is not a complete bolt on part you have to cut and reweld the new part. Goodluck

Looking at the 1993 FSM, the core support appears to be held in place by 6 bolts, 3 per side. Nothing about welding is mentioned in the installation procedure. Not saying you're wrong, just curious where you had to cut and weld it.

your welcome ron. i've used them a couple times. i helped a friend find an auto tranny for a Ford Exploder and the place he got it from gave him a 6 month warranty and it was really cheap. like 450 dollars + shipping.

just read the estimate from mike anderson dodge in marion indiana for repairs on this dak. they say it has 4700 dollars in damage....what a joke. they want to replace both fenders....not a ding on em, the latch, and safety.....whoops still works....both headlights and doors....not a scratch on em. jeeze guess they didnt want to work on it too bad. looks like i wont even need the core support. just mostly cosmetic, and a radiator...life is good. thanks for your help fellas

A bodyshop told me that it had to be cut and rewelded. It would be nice if all I had to do is unbolt it and rebolt the new piece. Mine was $5300. I hit a black cow on a black highway.
