Just wondering, should I bother to remove these windshield post exterior metal covers from my 65 f-85 in the hopes that someone would buy them off me? Or are they reproduced, and I'm just waisting time?
They appear to have surface rust, but no holes. Bit of work to get the bottom screws once the heads have rounded, so trying not to waste my time, unless they are in some demand.
Any thoughts?

If they were in real nice shape they are saleable but otherwise I wouldnt bother

X2, if they're not rotten use a drill and just drill out the screws. They're not repopped so if they're good I'm sure you can find someone who'll want them.

Had 45 minutes to kill before coffee (which is now), so I took them out. They're not bad. One bottom hole has a tear but pretty solid and straight over all. Need sanding and painting, though. Might throw them on the block for cheap. Maybe someone will pay $10 each plus shipping. You never know. They're small enough to store, if I have to.
Thanks for the feedback.

Any idea what the repop ones are like, price/quality, etc?

Dave, to the best of my knowledge they don't make repop's of these. All the more reason to save them if they're usable.

Sorry, you did mention that in your first reply. I'm getting old, you know. Are the chrome strips that go on the back side of these windshield pillars of any value, or a dime a dozen?
