like what parts? REPU parts are very hard to come by but if you are more specific it is amazing what you can find out there with some searching.

ya exactly. my old neighbor has i think 4 74's actually. not too many new parts though.

I had a really good condition front valence a while ago. I mean a 8 of 10 from a mounted valence. for those who dont know that piece always get destroyed. Cause its jsut low enough to fit them curb stoppers.

I might be selling a front grill. I have an extra with two mounting tabs broken off, it can still be mounted though. I also have a badley damaged front bumper that you can have if you want. You pay shipping. A good metal worker could likely straighten it. Suspension bushings don't need to be specific. You can use most Ranger bushings instead. I'm about to find out if ranger leafs measure up or not in the next day or two. As these guys already said REPU parts are pretty scarce. Luckily for you your on the west coast and you have a better chance of finding parts there. Keep in mind that you can substitue parts. Spend a day walking a parts yard with a tape measure and a camera. You can compare parts and find things that will work in many cases.

The bushings are the same as all the other 70's and early 80's Mazda/Ford mini trucks. A courier or b1800 and b1600 will all be the same front and rear. Even the ball joints match up. The only thing not easy to get will be the center link. I just used one for a Courier and had a shop weld in an extension about 3". Of course the parts are somewhat expensive, I did all the bushings and ball joints last year with new parts from AutoZone for somewhere over $400.

Bumpers are also the same as the Courier and b series trucks so they can be found in the wrecking yards if you look hard.

Grill and fender? Good luck. Maybe try mazdarepu.com or vintagerotaries.com for those.
