AC Ball Vent Housing

Any of the vendors sell a ball vent housing that's better than the Brothers/LMC units?

I just dropped one of my originals and it shattered when it hit the floor (after painting, clear coating, everything else of course).

Thanks,
Dave

Not sure which is best - I just bought from LMC and they were ALL chrome, no satin black (and no description to delineate them as all chrome, non-stock). So, I ordered from Classic Parts and they at least delineated chrome or chrome+satin black (as in original) - you had a choice. Very happy with them.

I got mine from Classic Parts, I painted mine the same color as my cab. Five years and they're just fine.

If you are going to repaint them anyways, I would buy a nice used OEM set from Randy (teeitup) or one of the guys that parts trucks. There will be no question as to their fitment and quality.
