Actually I might have found a cheaper source with *reasonable* shipping:

http://www.yourautosupply.com

NAPA 1100 is $5.61 (Jeep - Military Junior)
NAPA 1503 is $6.17 (CCKW - Military Senior)

So my 4 x 4 order is $47.12 and $11.95 shipping for a total of $59.07

That's (59/8) = $7.38 per filter.

Not bad.

Local NAPA lists FIL1503 at $13.99 + tax (6%) $0.81 = $14.80.. saves 50% off retail.

I can get parts 50% cheaper from a NAPA in Louisiana (like 10 States away) SHIPPED to me then the NAPA 6 miles from me will sell them for. Ain't America GREAT!!!!!

Found a place that only sells case Qty (12) but shipping is only $0.99

They list a cast of junior filters at $84.17 + 0.99 ship = $85.18 / 12 = $7.10 per filter
A case of senior filters is $94.81 + 0.99 = $95.80 / 12 = $7.98 per filter

NAPA lists the 1100 (Same as a WIX 51100) at $13.99 online (plus you have to pay tax/shipping).
