Re: Im seeing $$$ for our hobby

NOS parts for our trucks are becoming more valuable as the supply is limited ....and the owners that want correct items are willing to pay what is required.
(Disclosure;I was one of the bidders on this item)

Wow that is amazing. I thought 73-74 grills were going for crazy prices. They are cheap compared to that.

Re: Im seeing $$$ for our hobby

I thought $500 was high enough to part with my extra 75 76 grille and I listed it Sunday night at 6:30 and it sold for the BIN of $500 within a few minutes. I should have waited to see that other one sell for $760.
I'm happy as I felt since they are reproducing the 73-74 now the 75-76 will be next.

Re: Im seeing $$$ for our hobby

They are making the 73/74 brackets too

Isn't it funny, back in the 90's the rage was to put a 88-91 Burb front cliup on anything '87 and older, now we have done a 180 and want to make our trucks look even older yet by dating our trucks back to '73/74.
