Steve, In restoring my 1966 ElCamino I found Mail order was a necessary choose. Get all the catalogs. One I recommend is " Year One " Top quality items, prices a little higher but the catalog is one of the best. A BIG selection with good photos of parts and lots of hints for getting the job done. $5.00 well spent. ( You get that back on your 1st order. Others I liked are " Original Parts Group " and " National Parts Depot " These are basic parts sellers. There are lots of specialty parts sellers also. Just ask and someone on the list will steer you to them.
