If you haven't gotten the restoration kit from GM, it has a good list of resources. There is a yhread on our site.

A great place to start are the businesses that support this site. Click this SPONSORS or look for Sponsors on the left side of the home page. Some of them offer us discounts!

Yhread is just a key away from Thread.... and here it is Restoration Pack Link A few posters said the '79 pack is no longer available though.

Original Parts Group, E-bay, The El Camino Store or just type in el camino parts in your web search there should be over a million listings

You would be surpised at what you can find on Ebay !!
I have found lots of original stuff, new and used on Ebay.
Alot of times I have found items for my 80 Elky that are old stock items.
Original GM products at a very cheap price. Two days ago I bought a set of original Rally wheel center caps for $15.00 !!

I've also had pretty good luck with National Parts Depot (of course they've got a warehouse just a half hour down the road). They can be a bit pricey but they've got some good stuff.
