I'm having a hard time understanding some of these replies. $500 for a used fender? I have never heard such a thing. Must mean N.O.S. I am saying a used fender in good shape I would sell or buy for whatever the repros go for. Unless they retooled for '68 Chevy/GMC fenders I wouldn't use one if you gave it to me. It doesn't make a difference whether the truck is all original, modified, or a hodge podge of parts, a part either fits or it doesn't, is either good quality or junk. There is no comparison with some parts because the repro is no good. 71/72 repro mirrors flopping around the first summer they are on, steering wheels that crack in a few years, window wonder knobs coming off in your hand in a few years, wrinkles in the chrome or peeling on a bumper, fuel filler gaskets that don't seal, it goes on. I know a top builder who at one time would repair a rusted OEM door rather than buy repro. I tell people who don't see the value of OEM to pound sand if they offer a low price or try to school me on value. There are people who know what's what and I'll just wait for one to come along. They will know to grab a good part when they see it. They will also know they can buy reproduction anywhere anytime and that plays on the value> I also give parts away when it seems right. Some of you already know this. I usually say, "This part belongs on your truck" and just give it
