Had I not rolled the truck I likely would have run CV joints for the back too...

Boy were they surprised.... Geesh they must think that thing is worth what a Hemi Cuda is worth.. I mean just a few folks in this world would pay any more than scrap price for that stuff. Not me of course.. I would have been tickled to get that load.. Good score...
