8.8 swap

Yeah, I live back east - from Idaho... you'd think with all the exploders here in the DFW/TX area they'd be dirt cheap, but that's what they were asking back then. I couldn't have done a parts truck - my wife wasn't keen on the cars I already had at the house, so adding another wasn't an option... Just as well, I guess. Seems like the prices are more realistic now, especially since the disc brake rears aren't as new as they were then. Depending on how my wheel search goes, I may go down this road again.
