The time will come when stock A arms will be hard to find , Keep dropping and chopping them up boys it just makes the pure stock trucks value climb ! KEEP those old parts you or the next owner will want them eventually. or call me and I'll come drag them out of your scrap pile ! The "parts trucks" I bought just 3 years ago for $500.00 the same type trucks in the same condition are now $2,000.00 to $2,500.00
I've been saying this for 10 or more years . Just because you aren't interested in what the truck came with doesn't mean it's junk. In fact, it may help your sale in the future to be able to provide the parts to put it back. Or someone else will buy to fix theirs back to original. Heck, look t hubcaps and wheels. Those got changed out, wheels scrapped, and people are wanting those back now and willing to PAY!

Patina ain't nothin' but paint all scrambled up...and an extra 'a' added on
