These go in from the bottom instead of the top, they wouldn't work on my 69. I am sort of surprised that no one is making this part. There are quite a few of these trucks still running around, and while it isn't a wear part, accidents happen, and parts need replacing. I'm really hoping that my only possibility if I can't find a used one, isn't going to be "custom made" that just screams $$$$

Try a WTB in the parts forum and you will find a good used one.

I dont think it is reproduced.. ?
