Ordered the rollpan, tailgate, hinges, and a chrome/ivory grill today. The total today in just those parts equalled what he paid for the truck. I am sort of skeptical regarding the Chrome Grill. Every where else other than Ebay had them listed for $450+. This 1 seller on Ebay listed them new for $345 shipped. Something is "off", but I took the chance and bought it. The tailgate, rollpan, hinges shipping was $75. Thats tough to take. I get Dynacorn dealer prices, but anything oversize costs a flat fee of $175 to ship, so i purchased from parts123.com. Shipping really takes a bite out of the budget!

Anxious to hear about the quality of the grill when you get it. Hope it's a good one for you.
