The model for the SM420 is now $3200. Having the open driveline shortened/balanced/repainted was $200. I wouldn't consider myself uppercrust though - just a hard working beer plumber! I don't mind spending a bit of $ on the truck now and then, especially since the truck came free. I would also much rather spend 3.2k and having the truck drive the way I want as opposed to spending $500 - 2k, way too much time looking and scavenging, to end up getting something mediocre, that might not work, and with no warranty.
