Yeah that's the cheapest I found one that was chromed like the original. Looked back and forth from rock Auto to Amazon for pricing on most parts. Bought a few from either source.

One other question-

Is the intermediate steering shaft an issue with these trucks?

 

It was under $100, plus tax and shipping. I cant speak to its fitment - I haven't installed it yet because I'm planning to coat it in Monstaliner when I do my bed, and it's probably going to have to wait until spring at this point. The quality seems decent though.

Awesome. Thanks.
