I do have a 360 Combo Truck N/SA for $9,500 turnkey or
$7,000 rolling that is finished.
Guarantee you won’t build your truck for what you could buy this one for and the Irving Family are top notch good guys that can help you out with it too.

I second that statement exactly. Even if you just got done building a stocker, it takes several months or a year to sort it out, get the hang of driving it, and start winning rounds. Yes the Irvings would help you and get you there sooner.

With a "built" vehicle, you can get right into testing, tuning, experimenting. That's what Stock is all about.
Used to be, you bought a used street vehicle and made it a race car. Now, it's classic car stock racing. To build from scratch, you'll either have to spend considerable bucs just to get a nice original vehicle, or spend considerable bucs to make a dog nice enough to THEN spend modifying it.
Heck, now days, just a paint job can cost more than what it used to cost to buy and build a competitive car. (depending on class, a bit)
Geez, I'm talking myself into an already done car! But I'm a recovering addict and wwwwwwill not ggggget into it aaaaaaagain....

Well I guess I will go against the grain. I have 2 LOWER class cars that I've assembled myself. My "N" car has only run .45 Over. My "EF" car has already run .51 under. Part of this Stock deal is picking a good combo. I like the technical part of this and seeing what works and what doesn't. Which probably goes against what my wallet can afford.? But to me , this way is more gratifying.
