    Anyone have any idea where i can start looking for some aftermarket front end parts for my 83? I wanna swap out the grille and prob the bumper with something that'll get closer to the ground. Any sites or catalogues that anyone can think of would be a great help. Thanks!!!

    there really isn't any aftermarket for the 83 and older trucks. you can mod other bumpers to fit if you wanted something different lol.

    a few people have added the 84-95 bumpers to the 79-83 trucks for a different look.

    Look on ebay in Toyota trucks. I have seen some 1980's aftermarket stuff showing up over the last couple of weeks. I purchased a set of factory floor mats, a 1980's factory T shirt and a 1980's factory beach towel. I see more grills, front bumpers and other body parts showing up on ebay now for early Toyota trucks..

    im running a 4x4 grille on my 83 and have been looking for a new valence also but havent been able to find much. i guess there is a difference between the 4x4 and 2wd but not sure if its lower??
