Does anyone know where to get replacement rear lower corners and the rear sill (part that is in between the corners that the tailgate and license plate bolt too).  I want to fix mine so my tailgate will work.

Muddytazz

Ryan, those parts are still made. I've seen them replaced from autobody shops. Just trying to find some without going through them.

I refuse to cut up a perfectly good mint bed just for a couple of dented pieces. I just want to replace those pieces.

yeah .. I think If you actually have them look into it .. you'll find they are no longer avaliable .

You'd be surprised what is available out of Thailand and Taiwan (not genuine Toyota of course). I haven't looked at bed repair sections but I know there are tailgates and rear lights available, I would think its highly likely there are repair sections out there, particularly that rear valance.

And of course there are lots of front end panels as they were manufacturing them as RK110 Stout in South Africa and parts of Asia used the RN46 cab right into the 1990s! Again lots of reasonable quality non-genuine parts out of Thailand and Taiwan.

Google away!
