CAL,
You put the spin on it, my first off the shelf large spline toploader in 1965 was $87.62 still have the receipt. Came with the shifter mechanism on the side by error, counter guy said no charge. My income that year, $7855.00 GROSS. Purchased a new ford Pickup 352, Firestone Groundgrips, radio, rear bumper (remember no come with one), spare, heater, tinted windshield; $1897.00. So those were not the "good old" days like some fondly remember in the whatcha got for yo money.
