Narrow side trim value?

I have a full set for a long bed, pulled and cleaned with the clips. No dings, no dents. Found a set for a short bed today, so I will not be using the long bed set. Any ideas on a value?

I needed 2 pieces for my '76 short box.Lft.front fender,Lft. drivers door.Occasionally finding one on Ebay I would decide to buy groceries that week instead of spending approx. $100 per trim piece. I finally ,after about a year of occasional searching, found a "Buy it now" on ebay for an entire set for $65.00!!! Shipped from Georgia in a length of 4" PVC drain pipe ,the local Postmaster was VERY curious what was in that package. The shipping label was my name and address written with a Magic Marker on the side of the pipe. I would have GLADLY paid double that although I only needed 2 pieces. I am only guessing but I would think an entire set would be worth ,say....$300. Good luck! Gary

A million bucks to the guy that likes and needs it dearly.....lol. I to have a set for a long bed, just setting in the shed.

There is a truck in my local JY with the thin stuff on the front fenders, and the long bed? Doors are gone though.

Post it on the FTE classified section and see what it will bring. I have never seen it reproduced anywhere, so I would think is might be worth some coin to the right guy that wants to slick his truck up a bit, but not have the big dent chrome.

The junk yard I pulled the short bed trim from screwed me and would not sell it after I pulled it. So I am still in search for a shortbed set.

Hard lesson learned, I always ask prices before the wrench touches the truck. Maybe a long bed set can be cut down? ck PM
