    My thoughts exactly! You would think so with the amount out there.

    For reals I just didn't want to have to be going to specialty yards paying an arm and a leg for parts. I like being able to go to the corner auto store and get the parts I need.

    I chose a 69 Camaro 327 for my 47 KB-1 International PU. Just got it back from the engine rebuilder and starting to dress it up. Will be installed in a 96 Dakota chassis with the AX15 5 speed manual.
