Ah but the factory cb radio and it's components are rare for these trucks. Although I do agree with you Slik. The prices some of these guys want for parts for these trucks is unreal. Like your rotted out oe front fenders aren't worth $300. Heck I've seen doors for these truck where the whole bottom edge was gone and the guy wanted $700 firm for the pair.

I will agree that the CB radio is rare along with a very few other things. But this guy believed everything was rare. Huge difference between rare and hard to find. But none of that stuff is hard to find.

That's absurd! I know for a fact that I can grab a rust free one off craigslist right now for less than $50. Some people think that they're sitting on a gold mine...

That's a lot for any site. Wonder what's the record for the 73-79 section? I routinely see 600 online in our section.
