Help with body parts

As expected, finding parts for a quarter century old vehicle is becoming more and more problematic, moreso with body parts over mechanical. I am looking for rocker panel moldings, especially the left side for my 1995 Pontiac TS. I have not been able to find any online, and no scrapyard seem to either have them, or are willing to remove and package them.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or contacts where you have been successful in getting parts like these, thanks
Jeff

Generic, possibly.

Blue Bowtie, thanks you for the reply. Unfortunately, most aftermarket concerns I have dealt with just not longer carry very many parts for the older vehicles. I have found a couple right side moldings online, but the left side has been extensively damaged, and I have not been able to locate any to date. No yards in my area even have a TS there. I am hopeful to find a yard somewhere that can remove and ship the parts, but no leads so far. Any more than welcome!

Probably the cheapest route would be to find another TS for parts.


I did just that, parked one in a garden and "harvest" any parts, expecially body parts, I might need from it.


I could also help you with some parts but shipping them would cost a small fortune since I am located in Europe. Fortunately these "dustbusters" are still somehow popular around here but fading quickly. I guess that only those that are really loved would survive the next years ;)

I did consider that scenario when the only other dustbuster in town blew their 3.4 engine ( it is a 96), but I just don't have the room to store it, so I just bought some parts off it before it was scrapped. As luck would have it he offered some trim parts, which I declined to purchase..the exact parts I need now.
I have located some in a U pull it scrapyard, about 800 km away. So far haven't been able to find anyone who could remove and ship the parts for a fee, but might be passing through there this summer..providing the van will still be there. In the meantime, guess its time to try and see how successful a repair might be
