Acquiring Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight reflectors

[1998_K1500_Sub]

What's the list looking like?

List... of interested parties? Just looking, I believe there are five parties claiming six of the pairs.

FYI this morning I checked on availability of ten pairs (up from six), and I'm awaiting a response.

I'm interested.

The jobber in Brazil provided this picture, said they've got stock to cover an order of 10 and can get more if needed.

Just counting, it appears they've got 11 pairs on the shelf... assuming those pictured are all for the GMT400.

I will be providing more details as this unfolds. I'm working on transferring money (US$ here to B$ there), now. I use Wise, they offer the best conversion rates I've found.

I won't be asking anyone for money until later in the process. Too, nobody's obligated. I'll find another home for any stock that someone has said they wanted, but later changed their mind.

FYI.

I have a question about the picture you posted with your Suburban and Firebird. What kind of turn signal housings are they ? Thanks

I believe they were from APC. I can't check for you easily, unfortunately.

I bought them domestically, inexpensively, and I got two pair... one for now, one for a backup.

I like their look but they're kinda junky... the drain holes at their bottom are exposed and, every time I washed the truck, water would find its way inside them and cause corrosion of the "chrome" layer within. I finally added some vinyl drain hose to their drain holes (using a hot glue gun... the OEMs use drain hoses in this way, that's where I got the idea) to prevent the water from entering yet still allow them to breathe.

For the record, Arteb used to offer the turn signal housings but they weren't remarkable... IMHO they looked a lot like those here in the US. They appear in the catalogs up to 2018 (attached), but the 2019 catalog they're a no-show.

From what I can tell, they look (and sound) similar to the Anzo 511032. I ran those on my '97s for a while.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

I would be in on group buy at your price point, our headlights suck. It's a safety issue.

@subseawellhead, are you interested in pair, still?
