Hey, looks familiar...
Mine is a 2wd, got it about 3 months ago. Here's a quick tip for you. Find a hard surface that you can comfortably bang your head against.
If you've ever thought finding parts for you 63 Valiant was tough, just wait until you start sourcing parts for the TD! Get to know the local junkyards and search out the TD/RC parts groups on Facebook.
The 81+ up Ramcharger (TD), no problem finding parts. 74-80 is infuriating.
Detroit Muscle Technologies has gaskets and seals, LMC has a tiny bit of stuff, Rock Auto & Vans Auto have a few things too. Mill Supply has a bunch of sheet metal parts.
Good luck with your truck, and get ready to tone things down in the restoration department. The truck guys are a bare bones kinda crowd. They can't understand why you'd take something apart (when it's not broken) just to re-paint it / re-grease it / upgrade it. It's a different mindset than being a MOPAR car guy.
But, the Trailduster is a super cool vehicle. You might wanna ask your local DMV if ITSNOTABLAZER is available for your plates! I can't tell you how many times I've been asked that.
