Everything is TOO high priced.
Buying anything these days is a sticker shock situation Thanks Joe............. |

Don't really know, but I have noticed original parts are fewer and in-between since I started my build 9 years ago.
4800 for that huh? I've seen better.

Everything is way too high. But don't blame the sellers. They ask what the buyers are willing to pay. Buyers drive the prices up.

Re: What part or parts from our trucks has prices have gone up up up ?
I flipped a set of very nice 68 chromed hubcaps last month. I expected to get close to $1k but they surprisingly sold for $2,075. The second highest bidder bid to $2,050, and the third highest bidder bid to $1,475 (aka it wasn’t a fluke).
I have an identical set (even slightly nicer) on my 68. The high price and rarity has caused me to buy a set of these caprice/impala caps which I plan to paint to match so I can run these around town. Lol

Re: What part or parts from our trucks has prices have gone up up up ?
I started on my '67 C10 in 2020. I started buying the things I knew I would need and many of them sat on the shelf for over 3 years....
but just as one example, the VA kit for the AC, I paid around $1200 for....now it's pushing $2000 for the same kit.

Aftermarket bed sides. They were about $650/side and now $1200. That is in Canuckistan Kopek currency.

I really think it depends what the part is, though as I mentioned, parts aren't as plentiful as once before. Here's a CLEAN NOS 1/2 ton hubcap, $200. That's not an increase or much IMO, over the last decadish. In part many old timers know to appreciate GM parts, they're just better than most OER replacements, by far. Well, many of us are well past their day, if alive at all. Strikes me youth couldn't care less if parts are quality or not, because if it blings that's good enough. Heck, some of these 67-72 sell in the 200K even 450K range, thanks internet, world cash and many, MANY deep pockets. Dollars to donuts much of them are replacement parts from LMC and such. https://www.ebay.com/itm/13501074568...3ABFBMvprfkvhj As for the price of life today however, it's shocking, and I think the govt. BS the numbers too. My normal income is worth perhaps 75% what it was 3.5 years ago. Not hurtn', and they pay me to not come in, for life.
