Looks like a great project truck. Look for parts at your local junk yard and on carparts.com

My '86 came to me with similar damage... I can guarantee you will have frame repairs to make. I would look for a donor truck, in addition to the parts you mentioned, you will more than likely need the entire front clip minus the passenger fender. Maybe a radiator, fan shroud, who knows what else got damaged.

Frame is the hardest part to fix but it's doable. Hood hinges too, once those get twisted like that it's very difficult to get them perfectly straight.

Fortunately in Texas you should have access to some nice clean body panels... keep us posted on your progress!

I've spent a couple hours trying to clean up the off road truck forum. @JuanMV02 your post reads more like an introduction post... so I moved it there.

If you want to try and locate parts... post what you need in the parts wanted forum. You have technical questions... post those in the help forums in the appropriate subsystem forum.

You should make a build thread... we all would like to watch your project progress.

You've found the best resource for your new truck on the internet...

Welcome to TRS...

New body and interior parts, not drivetrain parts
Use Vehicle selector first to get Ranger specific parts

Shran is correct - you have some frame damage. Look how the driver's side front tire is pushed back. Before you pour money into sheetmetal parts get the structural problems addressed.
