For those of you looking to reproduce molded parts, molds can be made in
a MUD set (master unit die) to the cost of $8000 to $10000 depending on the
complexity of the part and the quantity to be run.
I'm sure the cost listed below is for a multi-cavity mold for producing
thousands of parts. I may be able to help with reproduction parts - molded
plastic, or polyurethane (rubber replacment)

You mentioned in your message that if you could find good used ones you
will
reproduce them.
I have seen 47-57 GMC park lens advertised in a "Heavy Chevy Truck Parts"
ad. It does not say if they are reproduced or not.
Do you have a source to reasonably reproduce lenses? I am looking for 59
GMC
park lenses and have been told to reproduce them requires molds to be made
at an extreme cost(> $100 000).
