Give a update on the Pickup, Parts pricing is getting stupid. Have to have them so just pay and move on but as reference:
KW, bought 4 Group 31 stud type, roughly $140 Each and delivered by MHC, this summer got two Group 31 post type for my Allis 180, $167 Each, local as had to have on a Saturday. This week two 65-2 Ford 1000cca batteries a Fuel & Air filter with a Temperature sensor, $500, batteries over $200 each. Muffler short head pipe and 3 clamps just under $250, day I ordered they noted price showed as just over $220 but could not really price out until arrived. Carquest here has gone to Consignment stocking, nothing is Bought by them until sold to a customer, price can change every to every other day. Owner said she had to go that route as was losing money weekly on reorders and special orders they foolishly priced out ahead of time. Parts availability is also getting really bad, Muffler came from Terre Haute IN, ONLY One the system showed, had several of the short head pipes in STL, the Temp Sensor was in another of this gal's stores, had it same day where that store now cannot get a replacement only has two on shelves at a third and fourth store out of five. Filer suppliers are getting slim, last Carquest filters were Baldwin produced, Wix is almost impossible to get in any form. Tire shop next door cannot get Toyo Auto tires anymore, seems ChickFilA built a new supply center near to the Toyo factory on East Coast, Toyo was paying $26/hour, CFA Starts employees at $30, cannot keep workers at Toyo.
