Re: NOS question
There are way more trucks out here than brand new original parts for these trucks. If there are hundreds of sets of '68 fender brows out there, that is a very low number, rare and precious. Trim items are the most precious. One little dimple renders even a N.O.S. piece useless to most. Full sets are hard to come by and mix-matched with repro isn't very desired. Putting a set together is very difficult and if this is your mission you must be glad to find it when you can and willing to pay whatever the price. A full set of repro isn't exactly cheap.
I have a N.O.S. 2wd power steering box. It is a vital mechanical component to safety, handling, and overall driveability. So what? Big deal. It listed for about $350 when I bought it. 30% discount got it to about $245. Do you think anyone would be willing to pay even the original over the counter price for that? Funny how that works.
