Todd, I hope you find what you are looking for, but I m confused.
On one hand you want originality (not converted fenders)
On the other hand you are concerned about the minimal cost of signal boxes.
Those two thoughts don't go together.
I hope you are able to find a good used set, but consider this:
Virtually any long hood fender that you find that is older than 3 years old will most likely require patch panels welded in. Either this will already have been done or you will have to do it (or you will have a mess of rust hidden under bodyfiller).
New fenders are expensive but have only recently become available again. Before that, the only other options were:
1. Fibreglass
2. Taking later non rusted galvanized fenders and welding in light boxes salvaged from old fenders.
You now have a third option now that light boxes are available as new components.
Like I said, you might get lucky finding used long hood fenders, but they became pretty scarce years ago.
So, the decision would be to either buy new, or have some built if you want steel.
