radiator core support
aren't these pretty hard-to-find replacement items for our trucks?
if so, I saw one for sale on CL in Baltimore,MD today while poking around for turbo parts, if anyone's interested:
FORD DIESEL, IDI, 7.3, POWERSTROKE, FORD MOTOR PARTS

Also I think it's just because of your location Washington trucks are rust free unlike New England trucks like mine it's supply and demand the only people there that need them are people who had accidents everybody in Pennsylvania with these truck need one so price goes up with demand

Do they tend to rust out in the PNW like they do in the midwest? If not, yeah, you'd probably get grief asking that price, as they're probably fairly easy to come by. In this neck of the woods, you'd have people throwing rose petals at your feet.

Rust typically isn't a problem in this part of WA. I know guys back east gobble these parts up like no tomorrow but I had some dbag on another forum ripping on me for my prices on a few parts... everybody has to squawk online it seems.
I have a pending sale on the core support right now but if he backs out I'll send some PM's to the guys here that showed interest.

^^^^^^ Shipping's the killer, though. Exact same scenario in the Saturn world with the engine cradle (subframe). Ubiquitous in the rust-free world, zealously sought in the rust belt(s), OEM is made of unobtanium, bulky and therefore $$$$$'y to ship.
Dude from Oregon had a cross-country trip to make a couple years ago, so he loaded his trailer with cheap easy rust-free Saturn parts, and hooked up with his forum homies all along the way, spreading clean parts about like Johnny Saturnseed. $100 cradle here, $50 door sill there, paid for his fuel and food for the whole trip.
PSD guys from the south, west and PNW could load up and scatter rad supports whenever they're crazy enough to drive to these necks o'the woods, hook up with members up here, spread the rust-free joy and pocket some coin in the process.
