where is the best place to get ford ranger OEM parts? preferably the front valance. another question, did the valances ever come in matching paint or were they all the primer grey color? if i can i need to get a valance with matching color if thats possible.

 

Post up the year and other info about your truck... it'll help us answer your questions!

 

His info says he has a 04 Dodge Dakota

 

Then I don't think the OEM Ranger parts he's looking for are going to fit. lol

 

haha sorry guys, i smashed my friends 2003 ranger and crushed his valance. instead of going through insurance crap i decided im going to do the work for him (like a good friend) and i thought it would be cool to get him a color matching valance to his truck as a gift for my stupidness.

 

yea you guys im not that stupid to be asking for dakota OEM parts on a ranger forum lol

 

Junkyards are a good bet, or Rock auto

 

you'd have to get it sprayed. they come in primer if you want a painted one. Otherwise, textured is the only way to go. OEM is going to cost you a pretty penny

 

This.

Ebay is a good place for aftermarket valences (see: I ripped mine off at SL)
You can get the normal Argent/black ones there, most others will come in E-coat which will need to be sanded, primed, painted.

 

You can also try LMCtruck.com in case you can't find it anywhere else.
