My driver door on my 85 ss only opens from the outside. What parts do I need to fix this ?

First I would take off the door panel and check that the rods connecting the inner handle are still attached to the release. These are kept attached my a small metal clip that may, over time, break or otherwise fail and cause the rod to come off the release.

Keep us updated with what you find, I haven't heard of the actual latch mechanism failing but with vehicles that are 30+ years old I'd say anything is possible. Maybe shoot some WD-40 in the latch and work the handle rod back and forth to loosen up any grime that might be hanging it up too.
