Got them from a swap meet in lawrance saterday 5-2-09. They are all over ebay for around $75-85 but I got them for 84 with rubber vc gaskets. I looked at the chrome ones just like these but the finish was real weavy and looked cheap. Thanks guys.

Just a teaser but I finally got to work on my truck again and welded in the door handle delete plates I made but I'm kind of broke after hawaii so it will be tough to get things done for a while I will have pics later tonight. Also did some polishing on my carb.

Did you weld up the joint on the hood? They look great! How difficult was that? I am thinking about doing that as well if it's not too dangerous (warpage)
