Where I Find Parts
Finding parts is often harder than doing the repair. These are the websites, salvage yards, vendors, and rabbit holes helping keep this wagon on the road.
Keeping A 40-Year-Old Wagon Alive
The good news is Chrysler built a lot of K-cars.
The bad news is Chrysler built them forty years ago.
Over time I've collected a list of parts sources, salvage yard strategies, websites, and communities that make ownership a little easier.
The Sites I Check First
When something breaks, these are usually the first places I look.
RockAuto
The closest thing to a time machine for old Chrysler parts. Great for maintenance items, cooling system parts, sensors, ignition components, and random things you forgot existed.
Visit RockAuto →eBay
Excellent for discontinued parts, NOS inventory, dealer literature, trim pieces, emblems, and factory accessories.
Search eBay →Facebook Marketplace
Probably where I've found the most interesting parts. Sometimes entire donor cars are cheaper than the parts you need.
Browse Marketplace →Car-Part.com
A nationwide salvage yard search engine. If you're looking for body panels, trim, glass, or interior pieces, start here.
Search Salvage Yards →The Chrysler Rabbit Holes
Eventually every repair leads into Turbo Mopar territory.
TurboVan.net
One of the most useful Turbo Mopar resources I've found. Technical articles, diagnostics, upgrades, troubleshooting, and decades of accumulated knowledge.
Visit TurboVan →Turbo Mopar Facebook Groups
A surprisingly active community of people still driving, repairing, racing, and modifying these cars.
Find Groups →Brochures & Ads
Factory literature is often the easiest way to figure out how a part was originally equipped.
Browse Archive →Turbo Mopar Resources
My collection of technical references, manuals, archives, diagrams, and Chrysler rabbit holes.
View Resources →Don't Search For The Wagon
One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that searching specifically for a Town & Country wagon often misses parts that fit perfectly.
Parts I'm Still Hunting For
Some parts are easy. Some parts feel like they disappeared from the face of the earth sometime around 1998.
Woodgrain Trim
Original exterior trim pieces and woodgrain-related components are becoming increasingly difficult to find intact.
Interior Plastics
Sun-baked plastic parts don't age gracefully. Good originals are worth saving.
Dash Components
Instrument cluster pieces, trim panels, and interior hardware are always on the lookout list.
Factory Literature
Service manuals, dealer training materials, brochures, option guides, and Chrysler documentation.
