I bought a set off of ebay a year or so ago from a truck parts retailer. I don't remember their name though.

Oh snap!!! my bad, thought they were the same. carry-on

**Clyde65** · 07-06-2011, 11:04 AM

Classic Parts has them

Wow, hard to find these! There has to be a place out there that sells these. Mine are intact but my passenger side lens has a 2" crack in the middle of it. If someone knows of a place please share.

I don't follow the repro stuff, but NOS lenses pop up on ebay fairly often selling between $25 and $75 ...each!

**ChiefRocka** · 12-16-2012, 01:28 PM

I just won a pair of E-bay for about $80.

They were military surplus, NOS.

Glad this was brought up, reminded me to message him. Still haven't seen um.

Even the places that have them listed can't get any. The die is broken and estimated 6 months to a year to replace --- and that was 6 months ago. Hopefully they will replace the die..........

Sounds like ebay is the only option right now unless you stumble upon some in your daily travels.

If this is true, we need to gang up and send in a letter to whom it is that makes them and try and get them to get some made and available. For a reasonable price too.

Check Dans classic auto parts in Portland, or. I think he sells them for around $35 a pair.

I read here that someone on here was making a mold for these. The poster, which of course I forget who, was going to make a mold and then make new lenses.

Maybe he'll see this thread and post up. Maybe I'm all wet...
