Seeking side door for 1975 Tradesman 100

    I have a 1975 Dodge cargo van (T100) that I bought new on 6/21/75.

    It's in really good condition overall but the right-hand side cargo
    door (behind the front passenger door) is rusted through and needs
    replacement.

    I've heard about Pick-n-Pull and will make the trek to one of their
    sites in hopes of finding the correct door, but apparently there is no
    way to know ahead of time if a PnP location has a specific part (if
    this is not true, please let me know!).

    Meanwhile, anyone have other ideas about how to find a specific door?

    I've tried dealers and numerous other outlets, with no luck.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Look on OEM replacement part websites or as crazy as it may sound,
    ebay. Try junk yards as well

  3. It is not true. Hit www.car-part.com , which is an access point for
    thousands of wrecking yards clear across North America. Enter
    year-make-model and part desired; search results include all
    interchangeable years and models.

  4. Not a T-anything. The vans are B-series. B100, for instance.

    If you're asking for a door for a "Dodge T100", people will dismiss you as
    not knowing what you're talking about. The T100 was a poorly-selling truck
    made by Toyota.

  5. Of course, the cheapest parts on there are still more expensive than
    a pick-n-pull or other u-pull-it.

    Thanks all! I do appreciate the input. Good point about the name too.
    The "model" is Tradesman 100 (as "written" on the van itself) which is
    the B100. I should have included that here, I was shortcutting for the
    post (not a good idea when you're desperately searching for a part I
    realize :) I do use "B100" in search fields on various sites and so
    far no luck. I also just learned of Commons Auto Parts in South San
    Francisco and will phone them (they don't have a website). Any and all
    ideas continue to be welcome ...
