I think this is still tech as it pertains to the front axle rebuild. I noticed Sears is having a pretty good tool sale this weekend. In particular, the external torx sockets needed to change the steering arm bolts are normally $39 for the set but are on sale for $19. They also have all their torque wrenches on sale - including the inch-pound wrench that I didn't have (until this morning :)) for $59. I also noticed their 4-ton high-lift professional model floor jack is only $99 instead of $199 (be careful, they have several versions and the 'low profile' version that is certainly not needed for an 80 is on sale for $129).

They also have a new (I think) line of clothing that is coated with Teflon for "complete resistance to oil, grease, etc... stains" including carpenter denim jeans, regular denim jeans, and a variety of shop-type slacks. Also a full line of shirts with the Teflon coating. All are on sale this weekend. I've never owned anything like this, but I bought a set of pants and shirt for under $40 total. I figured it may be handy in the future (and would definately have helped on the front axle job). I just wore old pants and shirt and threw them in the trash when the job was done.
 
yup its tech.

just not 80's tech.;)
 
-- I Appreciate the notice.. Thanks!!!

I could use an inch pound torque wrench, and a new floor jack
 
The sale isn't happening around here. I went to pickup the 4-ton jack a week ago and it was at regular price of $129.

By the way, I picked up a Husky torque wrench from Home Depot. It was either $60 or $70. Looked to be built better than the Craftsman and it came with a lifetime warranty, the Craftsman only had a one year warranty.
