Hi All, Newbie here. I have owned a 82 SR5 4x4 for over 20 years and it is my work and pleasure vehicle. I have decided rather than buy a newer truck, I am going to restore the 82. It will be going in for new paint in a couple weeks and the only replacement body piece I need (that gets painted) is the passenger side rear rubber/plastic fender flare. Mine is broken (still have the broken off piece) and I would rather get a replacement than repair mine (how would one go about repairing one?). I have found all new trim and rubber (genuine Toyota) to make it look showroom new again.
One addition I would like to make to this truck is a complete factory air conditioning system.
If anybody out there can help me with these items please let me know.
The flare is the most important item right now since it is going into the paint shop. The A/C is most likely going to be harder to find but I have time and patience for that.
Thanks in advance for any help or leads. Paul

 

These guys have replacement parts. Not the cheapest, but arguably the most complete selection for that generation of pickups. Probably cheaper than getting it through your local Toyota dealer's parts counter.

The fender flare won't be called a fender flare. You'll be looking for a rear wheel opening extension

 

Good luck with your search on finding parts. OEM parts are getting harder & harder to find especially when Toyota discontinues them. You may need to go to a wrecking yard (Pick 'n Pull on Mowry) or you can call the Toyota Truck Dismantlers here in San Jose.
