Yep, if you find a good parts department with a guy that cares enough to help you out there's quite a bit of stuff out there. Might not be in a warehouse anymore but it's collecting dust on a shelf in some other dealer's store room or something. My experience has been most big busy dealers with flashy signs and showrooms aren't interested in looking up parts for anything out of warranty, takes too long and when you're paid on commission time wasted looking for an obsolete part is time that could have been spent looking up a hundred easier to find parts. You have to find a good old fashioned dealer that's not so busy been around for a while with parts staff that remembers when these trucks were new in the showroom. Not alot of places like that left but there still out there!
