Back in the 70's truck doors were a 1/2 day job as a rule. Labour rates about $25! Three times that to cover overheads/profit etc and yer still only $75.
Nowdays, vinyl/print jockeys are happy to get that per door 35 years later!
You change that mentality by painting on things vinyl and print don't stick to!

I remember getting $60 for a pair, and it took me three days plus travel!!! (and they call them "the GOOD old days"!!!)

Going back to the 50's, $25.00 was the rate for a pair of truck doors. Now everything is $125.00 and higher.

Yeah.....what Jon said!
I started out in the early 70's and it took only a thimble full of paint to complete a couple of truck doors so I guess most of that $75.00 was all profit!

I can remember getting my pick up lettered in Rahway, N.J. in 1964. It cost $20. Three colors on what I would consider these days as a "knockout".
