Repo lense quality..buy or find OEM?
 
So every exterior light except headlights in my 75 is either totally smashed out of at least cracked.

Couple hundred will fix all this via aftermarket but are the parts OK? Maybe I am overthinking this but the deluxe side markers from the 67-72 world had issues with the bright trim falling off, so I thought it better to ask if this stuff for squares is worth getting.

If you can find some Grote branded lenses, they are of pretty high quality.

I replaced just about every exterior light on my 86. Mostly with aftermarket. I never had any issues, but my truck was always in the garage also, I never left it sitting outside. Now there were times thru the 10 years that I owned it, that if I found new OEM for decent prices, I got them and installed the OEM lights.
