I need help locating a headlight shell for this military Dodge.

As you can see this is a nothing special 89 Dodge cab and front clip. I want to replace the busted headlight and turn signal shell with the same OD color that is on the passenger side. Obviously I am not going to locate one in a salvage yard. Do any of you have any ideas?

I think you will have a hard time finding one pre-painted the correct color. You might be able to get a regular one in whatever color and then have it painted to match.

Davis-Monthan Airbase used to also have a 'vehicle boneyard'...that may be an option as well.

Davis-Monthan AFB is in Tucson AZ. Its where the Air Force stores a lot of its old aircraft. I hauled B-52 wings out of there all summer to a place that shredded them about 13-14 years ago when they scrapped out 150 of them. The only way you can buy any vehicles or parts out of there is from either a sealed bid sale or an auction. I'm not sure if they even do the live auctions anymore. The guy from Jack's (Jack) that I mentioned earlier gets all of his stuff that way. He has 3 yards down there stuffed full of vehicles, everything from the mules up to the big 6x6 trucks. Like I said, he is kooky but he will have that part you need. Getting him to sell it to you might be another story. His main yard in on a street called Drexel in Tucson.
