The title says it all. I look up www.car-parts.com to see if any junkyards had any, and every last one is listed as having chrome peeling. Mine just started, overnight.
There are a ton of them on ebay, but I suppose that they are aftermarket, questionable parts. They are awful cheap, and you get what you pay for.

I got one of the 25.00 ones on Ebay. I would say it is at least equal to the original. Or check out www.LMCTRUCK.com

When you said a $25 Ebay one did you mean new or used OEM ?
I have seen some new but i think they were always around $49 new on fleabay. Do you recall the seller you got yours from ?



What is the saying in the bumble bee stripe ?

I have seen your truck picts before nice looking rig.

The one I bought was new on Ebay. Was a couple of years ago. Price may have gone up.

The sticker on the truck is a "RATTLE BEE". I took the Rumble Bee and removed 7 of the pipes and added "SMOKE" to the last remaining pipe. I just thought it was more appropriate.

This is where I got mine from. Check for their auctions or store. Very good to deal with. Like I said it's been a couple of years and lets admit it, everything has gone up since then.

Wow, guys. You really chased a rabbit there.
I ordered one off Ebay, $51.00 Shipped. A friend at the local Ford dealership could get me one for $82, and Autozone can get them for $216.

Come back here when you get it and install it to let us all know how good it really is and which vendor it came from. Maybe some picts as well.

That will be good information for everyone to see.

Too many times people don't return to give the "paul harvey" rest of the story

I will do that, rattlerbob. I leave Monday morning for Haiti for 12 days, so I won't be putting it on for about 2 weeks, but when I do, I will report. I also ordered a new grille emblem.
