i agree NOS parts are expensive - price reflects the market. if you did it on the 'cheap' - buy and restore (sandblast, prime, fill paint, cad plate hardware, buy a bulb, buy a repro or nos harness, fix the base or buy a repro base - pay shipping on all of the above & add your time) how much would you really save to end up with comparable, but not really comparable? With nos part offered you get a NOS Base - not repro, NOS bulb, Nos wiring harness, etc- all important if you are doing a 1st class resto. not as important on a driver. you are also looking at 2 one of the most visible assemblies on the truck. im just glad to find nos stuff when i really need it. i found a NOS command car gas tank and drivers side nos command car running board. my 2 favorite parts of my restoration. paint & go (although i did renu the NOS tank first)
