Are they used or discarded? Personally I plan on using them with the style of truck I plan to build. I have tried to find them or just see them on others, but haven't. Any help on this on? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 549 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 549 | They're not stock on a truck, but it's your truck so run them if you like them... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | they were an extra cost option, and like all the other appearance options, such as door handle scratch guards or the various chrome packages, tradesmen and farmers didn't spend money on looks, so no, they're not "common" but they are reproduced cuz nowadays more folks are interested in looks  Bill | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 36 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 36 | I was hoping they were an add on from the factory because of the holes in the hood and the way it looks as if it was from the factory. I actually like them for the appearance that I am looking for. I finally find some for sale, but for over 300 a pair. I will have them rechromed and keep.
