C = 2wheel drive, K = 4 wheel drive, 81 - 86 years.  
R= 2 wheel drive, V - 4 wheel drive, 87 - 91 years.
All these trucks have the same cab, doors, hood, fenders, and inner fenders.
Example an 88 or newer C or K parts will not fit.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

I doubt you'll find one in a junk yard. You might try craigslist or eBay if you're looking for used.

I gotta look at ebay and craigslist. I'm hoping not to have to pay $400-500 for a new one. I'm probably gonna wait it out trying to find a used one online. If nothing by spring then ill probably get a new one.
