72 Demon slanty-to-340 Resto

No offense taken. Different demographics. Where i live its the middle of nowhere. Pick n pull yards 30 mins away?? Whats that lol. The nice ones w crushed stone and the cars all sitting on welded rim jackstands. Yep i seen those in car craft magazine when Steve Magnante does his junkyard crawl articles. Been to one in dallas once. They had the crushed stone and jackstands. Pricing printouts, pay $1, sign a waiver and your in. Niiice. I felt like i went to heaven in that place. Problem is its 3 hours away from me. Thats the closest place i could find like that. The local places know they got you over a barrel so to speak. So you buy local, or drive your *** off spending 6 hours on the road, plus fuel in your pickup, hunt the junkyard hoping theres something there, wrench it out, get it for a cheap price, or pay the man locally.

Case in point locally 10 mins away at the 10 acre place i can get an xploder 8.8 in a sport trak which come standard w a locker. Its a 4.10 ratio. They want $350 cash no tax, and i have to remove it myself. That means enlist a car buddy and buy em lunch, and prepare to get filthy on red dirt for a few hours. Or go to dallas, spending 6 hours on the road round trip, plus gas, hopefully find find the rear, get less filthy on the crushed stone removing it. Pay $180 for it plus 8.25% sales tax, and a $40 core fee because i dont have one to return. So $234 plus fuel, buy car buddy a breakfast and a lunch for going on this odessy and helping out, plus a whole day used up. Either way it costs.
