I would never pay that much money for an emblem like that. Our trucks aren't exactly 'rare' themselves. We drive and/or restore beat up farm trucks, not '71 hemi cudas. It's not like there were only 100 ever made

If those emblems are rare, I would be a rich man right now for pocketing so many at junk yards

I have 2 of them that look exactly like that one.

ive found it to be very hard to find high sierra emblems

AntiGov · 01-25-2013, 05:32 PM

Even if it was NOS that would be too much $$

I disagree. Any N.O.S. trim item that isn't reproduce holds a high value to one who is restoring that vehicle. This is just another person thinking Ebay can make them rich by selling an overpriced item in not so good condition. They just don't know what they're doing. It's not going anywhere.

had somebody tell me before "only the 4X4s were "high" sierra s" lol
far as i know its only a trim level
both my 79s are "high"... 78 isn't

Low87 · 01-31-2013, 12:42 PM

I was really hoping that thing would sell for $85. I've got one in similar condition in my garage. I would have had it on ebay yesterday.
