More parts needed for '93 D250 LE 2wd
These things are getting harder and harder to come by! All of the junkyards in the Raleigh, NC just look at me and chuckle when I ask if they have any to scavenge from! I'm searching for:

Front Coil Springs, NAPA has gotten the wrong ones for me twice, no 'S' in the part number. I just need to correct about 1 3/4" sag in the front end, not jack it way up. Any suggestions? Will the MOOG spring do as well? I just want to level the truck up!

Water-in-fuel sensor assembly, the part that screws into the fuel filter. Dealer says he can't get it. I need one as mine is plastic, cracked and has a slow drip under pressure.

I replaced the 30 gallon fuel tank float/sensor a while back (twice) and it still registers wrong. Dealer gets the same part each time, for a 25 gallon GAS tank. I have a 30 gallon diesel..at half full with this sensor, seems I only have around 10-12 gallons in the tank. The float on the new one has two 'sensor bands' on it (silver colored) the old one had three sensor bands, brass colored.

Gaskets for the stock fuel lift pump.. I got a new pump, no gasket in the box. Dealer says he can't get them anymore. The old one was a rubber type, I have fiber gasket material...will that work as well if I cut one out?

Electrical Connector on the wire going TO the KSB Solenoid. The plastic connector cracked and the metal prongs have corroded away. Now what metal is left won't stay on the male connector prong of the solenoid Probably need to get a new solenoid also, just in case. Dealer can't find either part listed.

Speakers for the left/right doors. Again, dealer is no help, and so far the aftermarket ones I have found, don't fit the stock door opening.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Left front fender. <SIGH> had a disagreement with a Honda a few years backm and got dented just a bit behind the corner of the bumper. Caused a slight buckle in the finder over the left front wheel. If pulling/pushing the dent out doesn't get rid the warp, I'll have to replace the fender.

Grill surround. The JC Whitney part chrome peeled in about a year. Also it did not have the DODGE name on the top front. Dodge says they can't get it anymore. Any sources?

I've got more needs, but this is a good start. I put in new (Suburban seats.com) leather buckets/console and am really happy with them after almost a year. Also new carpet/headliner. This is a daily driver w 280,000 on it, and I want to keep it running!
