It reflects more on the greed of the importers (Lonrho ISTR) and the government taxation dept. ;-) No offence taken - things almost always cost less in the USA than here. At the recent classic car show there were several stalls selling self-darkening welding masks like the one I got from Harbor Freight for up to twice the price I paid. Maybe the $ price is more now, though. The sill mouldings seem to be 311---557A (left) and 558A (right) for the higher trim spec (no mention of any years) and for the lower trim spec both sides 315---557 from chassis 221,975 through '67 and 315---557A '68-on. I've not got any '73 updates so don't know what might be different Dave.
