Well with a $395 Sleeper alarm clock that can be had for $35 at Iowa80 and a $475 seatbelt that can be had online for $80....
Those are 2 of the stupidest priced parts I have come across so far...

Trust me... after I discovered standard $40.00 aftermarket off the shelf 45* and 90* elbows would not work when replacing exhaust components on my truck... ...and had to pay $300.00 each.. I know.. and that one was not chrome.. ..the elbows between the frame rails that my stacks sit in were over $400 apiece chrome plated.. and it was lousy chrome that had chips and rust in it after only a year... The cool thing is a manager at TruckPro told me a few months ago they will soon be offering special exhaust components, truck model specific, so it appears drastic price cuts are in Paccars future on these if they are to remain competitive...
Hanadarko Thanks this. -

You have to see my elbows to believe them Handarko.. They have about 5 different weird angles. I tried to piece some 45's together but there was no way to make it work.. They are way different than what is on your truck. They were manufactured in Clinton, TN by the company that makes all special, and not so special, exhaust components for Paccar, Freighliner, Volvo etc.. I have hauled a lot of loads out of that place to the Peterbilt plant in Denton, TX and the one in Madison, TN too (until Paccar busted the union there and closed the doors a few years ago)...

Looking for the factory wide fuel tank straps I have seen on some of the new trucks. Would be for 24" tanks. I just need the part number.
