I was going to bid on this for Yeller, but OMG...are these THAT expensive now??

I think the days of inexpensive 73-87 parts is winding down.

I think it is winding down for pre 81's. I can still get stuff like this all day long for my 85 from the dealer. I need to start stocking up on GM parts now I guess. Someday, the 81 ups will be in the same boat. I could make a ton of money in the year 2020 maybe.

you can buy cheesy made in china headlight bezels for 11.95 from lmc truck. And they are real light compared to the orginials.

Are those OEM replacements? Might be cheaper to take old ones, refurbish them and get them replated???

NOS= giant rip off. I saw one guy selling a set of NOS 73-80 front fenders for $900 once
