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 .

I know where to get the same thing for about $150 shipped. I was watching this, but once it hit $140ish, I gave up and couldn't believe what they went for. On the other hand, I picked up a set of NOS 73-80 fenders for $195 today

**N2TRUX** · 07-05-2008, 11:50 PM

Not quite as crazy but still expensive. LINK

i believe i would find a different way to make my door panels look nice!

1976K5CHALET · 07-06-2008, 12:19 AM

Years back i rebuilt the door guts in my 79 K5...guessin mid to late 90's. The new door catch assm's were like 48.75 a side...they are around 150 plus at gm the last time i checked....

68GMC454 · 07-06-2008, 02:46 AM

you know, if my truck has to run around with missing parts, there is now way in hell i would pay that price for those.. but since i wouldnt try to restore on ei dont need them anyway,, but man somebody needs to get of the crack.

f.monroe · 07-06-2008, 12:21 PM

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

If you really want ridiculous , take a look here ......

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

moonlight · 07-07-2008, 01:56 AM

*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'

S10Fan · 07-09-2008, 10:43 PM

Here's another one that end up going to the moon..................

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...235297041&rd=1

I'm going to guess 295.50

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.

**N2TRUX** · 07-09-2008, 11:30 PM

BTW- Any one looking for a headlamp bezel? This one has a BIN-Link
