T100 Body issues, many woes...

Proud owner of a severely used and abused T100. It's been one of the most solid trucks I've ever owned, but the body is pretty much ruined. It's got about 117k mi. on it and I just cant bear to get rid of it just yet... on the other hand, if I keep it any longer it has to look better.
It's a `95 long bed. The front fenders, grill, etc so far have been relatively easy to find and replace. What I need now are the outer body panels for the bed, and a driver's side door shell.
Is there a company that makes these parts artermarket or a good place to find these body panels in fiberglass? Really, the panels are bound to get damaged again so the cheapest, most asthetically-pleasing product would be great.
There is absolutely no junkyard within 50 miles that has a longbed, the doors no one wants to sell just the outer shell.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

race-dezert.com sometimes has people who are getting rid of their T100 beds all together, try their classified ads...

I checked them out, nice site. Nothing very close to me, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'm in Phoenix btw, if anyone is parting out a truck.
Also, I may only need one outer bed panel, so finding that may be cheaper than getting a whole new bed if anyone knows of a good artermarket of fiberglass dealer.

My god. The search is hopeless for the 2WD '95 long bedsides... and the door seems to be an extinct species! Surely one of you guys knows of a good place to get aftermarket or fiberglass parts for this baby.

toyota parts world parts You might try these. There are a lot of vendors on eBay under ebay motors/parts but looks like mostly fenders. I had a link for a company in Canada that built fiberglass replacement beds for the minis, but it is now defunct. Good luck.

Went through this with my 93 2wd. While you can find cab and forward parts just about anywhere, tailgates and box parts are virtually nonexistant in the aftermarket. They can be had via a Toy dealer though. You just gotta cough up the dough. An option is to find a body and fender guy that has contacts and will refuse any parts that are not pristine. And then wait. Had a box for me in florida and the day the guy that did the shipping got there, a yard guy backed over it with a loader! Bottom line, find a box in a junkyard or pay through the nose for factory replacement parts. Been there.

Well thanks for all the help. Hanneman makes besides for the '97s forward, and toyotafiberglass only make shortbeds. Maybe I could contact them and have the sides custom made, but geez that would have to be expensive.
Wonder why companies are so quick to crack out fenders and grills but no one makes a door shell or bed panel...

You could take the bed off and make one out of wood. Would look cool and be unique. Just a thought.
