It's all about location, and what is abundant in your region.

Exactly. Though KS and OK are very close, you still have to understand why this truck was on craigslist "for free" and not for sale. I would have given up to $200 for it, but the price I paid was better than that, and it has served its purpose and we had some fun along the way.

I'm not even sure what's special about the manual saginaw transmission in it, but my body tech, who also is a dirt stock car racer, swears those things are gold to the people in his racing circle, so it will get pulled after the cab is cut off.

I am almost in need of a bigger parts room for all this stuff. Besides the extra hood, fender, wheel house, 2 radiator supports and a few other large odds and ends that I keep outside, everything is crammed in to this poor 10x10 room at my shop. Maybe I should go ahead with my plan of having two walls nothing but solid shelves and one wall nothing but peg board.
