Default Replacement Body Parts Need!!

I am looking for a source where I can purchase the following "sheet metal" parts on th my 1996 F150 straight cab.


None of the local body shops are willing to put in the effort to find these parts because they have been discontinued by Ford, so I must locate them myself and have them shipped to me then have the shop do the work.


1.) Cab Roof Outer Shell (next to impossible to find)
2.) Hood (easiest part to find)
3.) Cowl (piece with all the holes right under the wipers)


I would prefer these be parts be manufactured replacements and not off a truck in the salvage yard, especially the cab roof outer shell.


If you have any question please feel free to email me at srmechengrms@gmail.com.

Thanks

The issue with a junk yard and the Cab Roof Outer Shell is that if I have to cut it off the junk truck it will never fit right on mine or at least that is what several body shops have told me thus far.

Can you post pics of your cowl? Maybe some measurments so I can see the scale and if it will fit. Is it specifically off a 1996?
