Default Sources for clean body parts

Any idea where one can source a set of non rusted side doors and front passenger door?
I don't care about the color, I just don't want it rusted.

Also, someone ripped off my antenna. My van has an electric one that goes up when you turn the radio on, and back down when off. Can I just replace the antenna, or does the whole motor mechanism need to be replaced as well?

I checked their site, and they don't have the 2 side doors
Mine are not the sliding style, but swing open from the middle, similar to the rear doors, and the bottom 3 inches are completely gone from both doors.

any suggestions on online places to track parts? I called every yard in my area, this is the first place the doors rust in the midwest
They are 600ish per skin through GM, and the van just isn't worth that much

Take a road trip to a drier state when you have time. Personally though, there must be wreckers with newer vans, I'm North West and I don't see rusted outdoors here as a common problem.

Yes, I have called many local ones, and several chain type yard, most don't let me finish my question, and say that its almost impossible to find those doors without rust on them .
