    I figured you guys might have some ideas on how to find parts for my truck.

    1) my stereo trim-bezel-thing (the thing that holds the stereo) pops out, so i guess my question is what holds it in, like is it clips or some nifty clip/screw situation?

    2)I am missing one of my cab vent plastic guard things (that plastic trim peice behind the door/door pillar) what do i need to type in on a search to find replacement ones? and the clips too?

    hmm, lets see, what else...

    well, i guess thats it for now.

    Thanks all!

    For any interior dash or trim pieces i would suggest a scrap yard.. and for little clips and stuff a toyota dealer, but you can get them from the scrapper too.

    Yeah? that'd really help out. i don't have a lot of time right now cuz i'm in the middle of school, but i will keep my eyes open. and i've checked with a couple scrap yards and all of the toyota pickups are picked totally clean and scrapped out to the metal yards. i would also really like to put power steering on my truck but haven't looked much, i'm sure if i looked i could find. what all do i need to put power steering on? just power steering pump and bracket, 2wd power steering box, and lower pulley and belt?

    If you cant find any of the interior parts you need locally then try looking on Ebay. As for the power steering youll need the pump/bracket, all the hoses, change the gear box cause they are different for the power steering & a belt. Id call your local Toyota dealer & get a complete list of what you need.
