    Correction… the truck in your pics is a Single Headlight spec. Dual Headlights refer to 2 Headlights stacked on each side. High & Low beams.

    Grill and head light bezels -'81 K20 Silverado

    Yes, a lot of the aftermarket grilles are low quality. I did recently have good luck with an ‘85 from Truck Shop… The chrome bezels only look good when matched with chrome grilles. And like any chrome plated plastic, you have to be gentle when cleaning, never any abrasive compounds.

    Sliding rear window gasket?

    Tailgate band on sale USA 1

    Yes they’re very expensive, I’m sure these vendors are making a hefty profit. I’ve found it less expensive to shop around for a plain band without an emblem. And buy the emblem separately.
