Question Body Trim Pricing, how good of a deal is this?

So went to the junk yard today looking for the Dent trim set. my 77 F150 doesnt have any of the trim. They had about 5 old trucks and a couple old bronco's . so we tried to find trim on bad panels and we ended up finding all the pieces we needed.(one truck had a tree in and through it) some aren't in the best shape but some aren't bad, i'm going to have to work on them. But anyways after talking with the owner the deal is $300 For all the trim. and a uncracked dash and two sun visors. Is this a good deal? i know on LMC a new trim set is 600 dollars! and what is the best way to get them off without hurting them?
Any input would be great! Thanks

You might want to be more specific as to which style of trim it is.

i can't find it anywhere, are you anywhere close to ohio? Its for the full trim set, dash and shades. the guy hated selling the trim because he thought it would be bad then to sell the panel with the holes

Well at least wait, im going to look at a set this weekend, if it is nice I will sell to you quite a bit less then he is with shipping.

In the link you gave it has two styles, are you looking for the upper race track or upper style side (top or bottom picture) regular cab long bed?

Utah, but even shipped it won't be near what your guy is charging. Let me look at it and see if its worth it is worth shipping first.

If Heli can't hook you up I have 3-4 times what I'll ever need. Send me a PM but only if it does not work out with Heli. I am not stepping on anyone's toes. Especially his toes.

Grinner if you can get it too him then go for it, I am gonna buy some from my guy if its good regardless and your alot closer so shipping will be lots less. Just hate seeing someone charged crazy amounts for something that is way cheaper here.
