Where are you located? That will make the biggest differences.
Up here in Canada, I paid $80 for two full pairs of PERFECT racetrack chrome trim. They were plastic wrapped and kept in storage for over 20 years, and forgotten about. Luckily, they were never touched, nor damaged.
When it comes to pricing stuff out, it's all about location location location.
ChaseTruck here on these forums is from Southern California. He sells truck cabs, rust-free and in very good shape for $50. I just bought an almost-rust-free cab here in Canada for $750, delivered to my door... The differences are huge...

Those ugly longbeds sure outsold the shortbeds by a huge margin for some reason. Maybe because for most folks, trucks are for work and the extra space is more practical. A short wheel base wouldnt make a very good 3/4 ton tow vehicle, would it? I had an uncle that never liked the way a shortbed looked, said they didnt look "in proportion", he had a farmers eye for a pickup. I like both and if I had a 2wd, I think I would prefer a longbed, specifically, a 3/4 ton.
