Vent Shades

Hey Experts, I purchased some vent shades from Auto Zone thinking that they where the same ones as the originals, that just so happened to get lost when the guy painted my truck! But, they aren't lining up right! Has anyone purchased some that turn out to be the correct ones and if so who from!!!

There are no "originals" as FoMoCo never offered them for trucks. They were bought from an outside supplier, prolly from Western Auto or JC Whitney.

Hey Christopher - just saw this post. Did you get in touch with the folks at Melvins about your vent shades? Lost your email address - sorry.
