Default A few q's

im slowly making my truck look new again (was a construction truck in hawaii) and im looking for some parts.

the dash has some cracks in it and so does the fascia (?) the part that surrounds the radio/gauges.

i priced a new passenger rear door window at $200 but im not sure about installing it. the window is on there with a bolt and rivet per hinge. does that seem like a good price or is there somewhere cheaper.

also my headlights are pretty fogged on the outside, is there a place to get aftermarket housings?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try some Flitz polish on the headlights too, or check out flea-bay for some aftermarkets.

I've got a black "fascia" I think maybe it's called a bezel? heck I dunno.
I've got a dash,but it might take me FOREVER to get it out.
