Buying quality parts becoming impossible.

I have a great parts store owned by a friend that worked with me in the mines 40 years ago. He has sons that will take it over when he gives it up. You would not believe the stock that he keeps and he has staff that knows what you are talking about too. He has about 15 delivery trucks and supplies a lot of the shops in Northport and Tuscaloosa. I was amazed when I was building my 67 GT and decided to replace steering box while engine was out. I went in and asked if they could get me a steering sector for a 67 Dart GT. Without missing a beat Virgil asked 6 cyl or V-8. I asked what difference it made and he said V-8 had closer ratio so I asked if he could get me one and he replied that they had both in stock and were the same price so which one did I want.
