The cheapest I found were about $50 each, plus shipping. I have access to several Amish metal/fab/welding shops around here, so I decided to ask one of them to make a set for me. He charged me $10 a piece (no shipping!). They are nearly EXACT to the originals, and made from 14 gauge, instead of the stock gauge (20 ?). Today, I got them cleaned up (surface rust), and primed.

So I had to cut the side aprons on my '50 PU from a hot water heater. Perfect curvature.
