There's a few Michigan members on Colorado K5 - Full-Size Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4 Restoration and Off Road Community . Used to be one myself. (GR eh? Grew up in Middleville.)

The problem you'll face is A - most got scrapped or picked apart years ago and B - when the scrap prices went up 3-4 years ago all the old stuff got junked. I had a **** of a time finding a seatbelt for Big Ugly in 2007. Finally found one two hours away and paid a not so great price for it but it works and even matches.

Hi, Have you tried American Surplus Salvage in Kalamazoo? Any how good luck with your parts.
American Surplus Salvage was formerly Real Mans Toys . There several threads on them if you search .It seems they had issues here with creating several accounts under different names to list in classifieds without listing as a business or pating their share to support the site

I called realmanstoys prior to buying a duece from GL. They wanted you to commint to buy site unseen trucks they had not even recovered from GL along with a latge deposit .The truck i bought is missing 4 bows but has the cover they wanted $500 for 4 bows this was before i joined SS. Then found the threads about them and threw their # away

The couple of early dueces he has aren't for sale (M135/211 style) as i have tried numerous times to buy them. He does have some early gasser ones (look like M35, but have gas motors, sorry for not knowing the correct number). Unfortunately, they scrapped a lot of the big stuff when prices went high a couple of years ago, plus, what decent dueces he had caught fire over the summer when somebody dropped a cigarette and it caught part of that yard on fire.
