I would look on the parts for sale section here and buy whatever you can find that is original. I have bought most of my parts from the guys here and the prices are usually good ,shipping can get ugly sometimes but that is the same no matter where you buy. Good luck.

There's LMC, classic industries, classic parts, and brothers. I usually comparison shop amongst them all. Who has a special going on, coupons, etc. some places have cheaper prices, but they make it up with shipping.

Do whatever you can to get original parts, even if they're from the junkyard and need a little polishing. It will save a steady stream of curse words coming out of your mouth while you're putting the truck back together. None of those companies really have parts that fit very well, they all have to be modified at least a little bit and sometimes that requires buying a new tool as well. Also, what's you're time worth? You'll spend more time getting those parts to fit than you will if you can find original parts. Some places sell NOS aka New Old Stock. Just my .02

I bought grill/headlight trim from LMC for my 85 and it didn't fit nor look right. I also bought body trim for my 76 and it fit and looked great so it's a crap shoot from LMC. I try to spend the extra money for NOS parts

all the repro grilles I looked at for the 82 were off... LMNC doesn't even have the bowtie gotta watch and aftermarket quality and fitment is poor

Re: Lmc exterior parts
 

I've used LMC, Brothers, Classic Chevy, and as others have stated, some of it fits great, and some not so, but most of the items aren't made in the USA. I just replaced my headliner, and it went in pretty well, but also installed new sun visors, the brackets had to be heated and bent to make them fit flush with the roof of the cab. Good luck with your project

Like 88Jimmy4X4 said some of their parts fit great and others don't but i can say that i did buy some headlight bezels from LMC for my 86 K5 and they fit just fine.
