That gets to be a problem with a lot of things that we used on these trucks because we used to be able to get them at bargain prices.

The Toyota power steering box is a good choice but the Toyota 4x4 guys have always kept them bought up around here. They make crawlers out of those little old trucks and then beat them to death in the hills. The Camaro subframes used to be cheap and easy to find but now guys restoring Camaros have run the price up as they hunt for replacements for damaged units. Nine inch Ford rear ends used to be real easy to find an now they bring a stiff price if they are a limited slip and or have good gear ratios.
