Never in my life would I have thought it would come to this

See LOTS of empty 8 3/4 for $150. Piece it together.
Freight for a loaded 8 3/4 will cost $600 at least......
Can you point me in the direction of an A-body 8 3/4 housing for 150.00. Not being flippant. I am piecing together an 8 3/4 and only need a housing now
