Same here in Arkansas. I was floored at how much parts have went up for just a basic builder on these trucks. More reason to have a stash of trucks/parts available.

I have bought several trucks over the last few months and they have SBC drivelines in em, one a 383 crate motor and the other with a 355 from a local machine shop. Ill tuck those boogers under the bench and save em for a rainy day.
