I bought a couple of those a couple years ago from an ebayer that had 3 or 4 complete sets. Mine came with the center piece and both corner pieces . I will have to repaint the black sections but I am sure one will find its way to one of the 77's one day . Frank

I was watching also . The last day they were at less than $100 so I thought I had a good shot at them at $250 or so . Nice parts . Once I logged on to place my bid , I soon found out I couldnt afford them . Frank

I purchased mine NEW from GMpartsdirect a few months ago, for about HALF of what that auction ended at. 73-74 grills are hard to find. I got my NOS one (chrome trim version) for $65 and NO buy it now. I sniped, and got lucky!

Re: Holy Moses!
The thing with the headlight bezel , the door panel trim , and the door handles is that they all started at a very low opening price . The market place took them to where they ended up . As far as what someone is willing to pay and others arent , that is the difference between a nice truck and a damn nice correctly restored truck . If I hadn't been at several parties yesterday and Friday , I would have been in on that headlight bezel . The right side is hard to find and I need one . As for thet pair of fenders for $195 , he had them on ebay and if he would have responded with a shipping total , I would have given the $250 buy it now . Congrats on the purchase and You got an awesome deal on GM pieces . I have a pair and one more pass side . I would have added them to the parts pile . GM pieces are getting high but the trucks arent bringing much right now . Frank

Re: Holy Moses!
Frank is on the money (pun intended) here. The NOS headlamp bezels are bringing a premium because no one reproduces them in metal. You can buy chrome plated plastic but they don't last long.
I got lots of help from forum members and located the spare pair that I have at reasonable prices. Now if I could just locate an NOS 73-74 grill for a fair price...

Are you looking for a Chevy grille ? I wish I had paid more attention since one came and went on Ebay a month or so ago . It was cheap because it was listed wrong . I will keep my eyes open . Frank

Re: Holy Moses!
*smiles ... I know the grille you're talking about ... I bought it ... It's almost too beautiful to put on a truck ... I believe the seller was French Canadian and spoke limited english. ... It took a month to get here from Canada but it was well worth the wait ... I asked if he had any other truck parts but didn't get a response.
I did a weird search ... nobody else bid ... just a reserve. $100 + 46 for shipping. His listing picture did not do it justice but I don't think any pics really could. ... *still smilin'

Re: Holy Moses!
WOW! oh WOW! That is amazing. Yeah, I would love to have stumbled across that.
Frank if you see another one let me know. I have a builder quality one now, but I would love to have one in mint condition.

Re: Holy Moses!
I did pretty good on this one a few weeks ago, $34.00 shipped. Really just wanted the 454 emblem for later on. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10, no cracks.
