wounded 1st gen

Well my 1990 w250 that Ive had since new and has clocked 700+k miles with never a dent in it got its right front fender, molding and wheel trim smashed 10' from my driveway my son asked if he could run across town to get a part off a parts truck .......2min later he comes in white as a ghost and is trying to tell me what happend.

Im just sick to my stomach ....now is there a source to get a MOPAR fender, trim and molding ?? I just dont want any cheep JC wit foil stuff I would like to get a orig. new or a good used one with absolutly no bondo on it... I know its an old truck but its my old truck

Rebal, you should be able to get factory-condition body parts through Chryslerpartsdirect.com, but expect to pay premium for them...

I had a problem with the Chinese fenders' gap near the window posts. I figured it was because of the origin or some translation/pattern issue. Next time I paid double for the Genuine Mopars and had the same issue. It's not that noticeable,but i was looking for the same fit as the ones removed. Even comparing originals to the new Mopars there were very slight differences. Just my 2 pennies. You seem kinda particular like me.
