Will,
Speaking from exp., I would suggest that you try good old JC Whitney.
They seem to have quite a selection of replacement / repair parts. As I
recall, body rust was the big problem with mine (78 CJ5). The upside was
that (a) replacement panels & parts were plentiful & relatively cheap, &
(b) their installation was a pretty straight forward affair. It seemed
that there were not a lot of weird sort of curves & bends to contend
with; everything was flat (i.e. floorboards, quarter panels, etc) or,
like the fenders, was a strictly "bolt-on" deal.
Good Luck, & Cheers!
