Got me some NOS front fenders for my 83 for $300 each. Found me a NOS grill in the GM box for $500. Gets spendy real quick on my 83 K20 Silverado diesel. Even found an OEM sliding rear window for my Silverado. Naked aluminum not black just like the original. That sent me back $400.
Your not kidding about tire costs. I live in Atlantic Canada and I priced an Interco Irok radial tire 36x13.50r16 for my K20. I was quoted $1,275.00 plus 15% sales tax Canadian. So $5,865.00 set of 4 in Canadian $$$ before installation. I just kept the 35's that were on it :(
