Re: Ebay craziness!

When I was in Afghanistan I spent a good deal of time traveling through Kuwait, Dubai, Bahrain & Qatar.
I can't tell you how many REALLY NICE square bodies I saw over there being driven by bed sheets...

Re: Ebay craziness!

NOS 81 up hoods are over $700 on Ebay plus shipping. ?? I bought a NOS GM same hood the other day for $300 Cdn. Which is about $230 USD.

Re: Ebay craziness!

I look at this a little differently than some of you guys. I am not one to insult someone for paying good money for the parts they need. I am impressed that they care enough about these trucks to want only the best parts money can buy. You have to realize that we can find new NOS parts here in the states easier than they can. They have to buy parts and ship them in. They probably could get a better deal if they wait it out but when theres a part that several guys need the bidding can go up . They do not have the same access to parts as we have here but their passion for factory original trucks and trucks restored to OEM specs is impressive. They and many of us here in the states can appreciate a stock restoration. I personally love to see the trucks they have gathered up in other parts of the world. They are just beautiful trucks. If the prices that some of the parts are bringing is what it takes to make their trucks look like the do then so be it. Just be glad there are people out there that like our trucks as much as we do.
