Very nice truck and looks like a really good start. I don't think of them as rare at all. Growing up it seems like every Chevy/GMC had them. I think what is rare is to still have a set on a truck from new. Somewhere there are tons of garages and backyards with these sitting in them. Once the new wore off these trucks people became much more careless with them and started securing loads to them that never should have been. Once they started getting loose they were pulled off and either thrown away or put in a corner somewhere. I have found several sets not on trucks. Kind of the same deal as new take off tailgates. They are removed, put somewhere and then the truck is sold. They are forgotten about until it is time to clean the garage or some one moves.
