Found a complete cradle, cleaned and painted in Illinois, but it's pickup only.

I have one from a customer's car. I'll have to check with him but I'm sure you can get it for $150.

Thanks guys I saw that one on Pennocks but shipping would be a bear.
Paul let me know and I'll get with him. Is it a bare one or any suspension parts still there? I have some of the stubs for the wheels so I can take the one in the car out and use this one to roll car out of shop. I'll then remove the old 2.8 and trans clean it up and get it ready for my LS4. Going to try and use fierokings mounts and axels.

If you don't already know, just remember that if you're rolling a cradle around on its own wheels, you must have axle stubs inserted else you will destroy the bearings in just a few short feet.  The damage won't show up until you put the car on the pavement.
