Default 1992 Chevy Silverado Resoration Help!

I was recently given my Uncles old 1992 Chevrolet truck, and It is in decent shape body wise. All mechanical parts i can get or have replaced at some point. but the trim seals, emblems, and lights are in bad shape. OEM parts are hard to come by.

What is the best aftermarket parts out there for replacement headlights and tail lights?
This is the first Chevrolet I have ever owned and from what i hear the trucks are mostly bullet proof, but the plastic interior parts are not... Tips? I could use help.

OEM parts are the best in most cases but usually costly. I buy what trim parts I need from LMC ( LMC.com ) and have had great luck with them. Hard parts OEM or brand name aftermarket. Also check out your local "pick and pay "salvage yards.
Good luck and remember to have fun with the project.

LMCtruck.com is a great place as well as ClassicParts.com, LateModelRestoration.com and eBay is a good resource as well.

Thank you for the references. I have been looking on ebay but there are so many of the euro headlight kits it is crazy. I am hoping to avoid ebay if i can.

What are the good aftermarket brand names? I know of only some like TYC.
