1st gen Hilux build - need help with rubber bits and interior pieces

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

While trying to restore my '83 Toyota Hilux (USA market), I have stumbled upon an unlikely hurdle: Interior and rubber pieces are really hard to find.

Let me give you the broad strokes. I am building a 1983 Hilux converting the 3RZ, going custom in a lot of areas, but trying to keep it simple. I have a vision of the finished look and it does not include a blue or brown interior.

Can anyone tell me of a good source for NOS or aftermarket parts for these old truck? I dread going to the dealer with a list of 100 items and not one of them costing over $5.00 each. The evil stares you get from the parts man behind the counter are enough to make you want to build a Chevy!

List of parts I need currently:
Black door sills
Black door opening trim
Black plastic OEM door mirrors
Black arm rests
Black interior door handles
Black seat belts
Black A/C vents
Black Tacoma steering column shroud
Black Tacoma interior grab handles
hood bumpers
hood release cable
plus a ton of small clips, bushings, etc

Thanks in advance for any input.

There is a place in San Jose, forgot the name, but over by the airport that deals only with toyota parts. It's like a pick n pull just for toyotas. Other than that rockauto.com might have some or ebay.

when i restored mine, i was able to buy all the cab rubber pieces from the dealer. in fact, i bought them all twice because my dog took a shining to the first batch. i replace window runs, door seals, front and rear glass seals, chrome windshield trim, inner and outer glass belt mouldings, smoker vent window seals. as for the black interior parts, good luck, near unobtanium. keep your eyes open on fleabay.

You might be talking about Toy Connection in Santa Clara , right near the airport, they're a good shop , they have tons of Toyota junk laying around ....

...other than that , I know some folks who have had good luck using a 3D printer to literally make new bezels , shrouds, and plastic do hickeys like you're looking for .
