You're lucky, the earlier ones seem to be easier to find than '65 and '66. Going rate at Carlisle was $250 for really nice ones, though some guys will ask more.
Asking price on '65 ones was $500.
I got one for $300.
They are the Holy Grail part on these trucks, since they are too complex for the reman guys to invest in the tooling.

I know what you mean. I had to "remanufacture" mine. It was all rusted out on the ends and along the bottom. Took me days and days to replace all that metal. Later,

Whats even more perplexing is the 65 is different that the 66 and both of these are different still from the earlier versions. Talk about hard to find in good condition.

There was a post somewhere here about a man who fixes the core support. Supposedly he charged 300+ dollars or so? I cant remember and am too lazy to do a search right now and weed through the posts.

just spotted one on EBAY. starting bid was $10 and buy it now was $200. looks in good shape and has picture. says it was cleaned up and restored. might be worth a look if you are still needing one.
