How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Was just curious to see. Mine, paid $800 for it, rebuilding the 350 cost me 1100, then 3 years later the vortec heads and cam another 1100..trans and computer to run it, 3300...tires 800....exterior stuff such as windows front and back, weatherstripping, chrome trim, both bumpers, etc maybe 800?

Trans cooler 140, headers and exhaust about 400...maintenance such as brake booster/MC/prop valve etc 250...etc.

So I guess I have $9000 in mine give or take a few.

Holy crap...never added it up till now!

And it still looks like hell lol!

About $12k off the top of my head.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

if I had to make a quick guess-timate I would say close to 6 grand on my 74...im spending a lot on it right now getting my 5.3 swap done.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

$10483, Not counting registering it or fluids

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Rough guess would be approx 4 grand including cost of the truck. What's bad is I'm just about to start tackling all the little odds and ends to make it nice and we all know how those start adding up.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Over 40K but parts are expensive to import and the truck was over 15K when purchased,

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

3k to buy both trucks, 5k for engine work in the 454, 4k for body and paint between both and still counting.............

If my wife asks, about $600.00

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

As she sits 11,500. That includes buying it and a 77 C30 parts truck. If i rook away all the parts i sold or scraped then about 8,000.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Right around 5k with cost of the truck. My engine and transmission are original as far as I know and it has 124k on it, so I'm sure an engine and transmission rebuild will have to happen at some point in the not too distant future.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

$2500

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

I'm not sure..but I am sure that it's not worth 1/2 whatever that number is.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

I stopped counting and caring once I was past the 10k mark. All I know is I'd drive it anywhere, the A/C works great and Obama can not tell where it is or how fast I'm going in it. :smoke:

Jegs crate motor new trans new front end chassis paint complete gut and strip body and interior new paint and interior fix air conditioning rims tires rhino lining and accessories like bed rails and slider all new chrome it adds up quickly

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

$2,241.00 - including purchase price of $950. Keeping very close track of this one, just to make sure I don't end up sinking more into it than I could sell it for (if I needed to).

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

A small percentage of the cost of a new CC dually (approx 5g)....

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Thanks for the input guys!

My friends say "you're always working on that thing" and I say "for the amount of miles I drive daily 80+ I really don't work on it that much lol I can take it anywhere"

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

With the purchase price around 12,000 and more to come with paint and new motor and tires and glass....

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

This looks about right...

Ken...... We know that's not the only one.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Mine is kind of like that, but full of quarters.....

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Where is Yezzi? I'd like to see him post in here...

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

When I rebuilt the 83, it was right around $13,000. Its probably worth $13 the way she sits today (in primer, cab is ruined by rust, no engine).

The 1987 is more reasonable at ~$3500 includiung the purcahse price.

But neither are running at the moment. So more money to go.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Close to 20k in parts and labor. Was supposed to be a 3 grand project

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

:thud: <-- when I thought about it

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?

2750 bucks, including purchasing it, all new gaskets, rear end rebuild, power steering box, getting both tanks working, new light bulbs and cab light lenses, and putting 13k pound plates on it.

This year is gets tint, new carpet, head liner and some idds and ends.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

I went ahead and fixed that for ya...:chevy:

or would that be my trucks?

Probably is.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

i have probably about 7k in mine, including a 2k price tag then rebuilding everything i have rebuilt on it, thats ok, it has probably made me 350k!

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Too much!!

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Let's see. 1600 for the truck, 500 for a motor and 300 to the neighbor to put it in. 500 for new tires and about 400 in incidental parts. works out to 3300 bucks.

Of course that doesn't count the 10K in fuel to drive it the 40 thousand mile I've put on it the last five years.:lol:

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Hmm, so far, about $2500 (if you include labor). Bought the truck for $1200, spent $500 on tires...so the rest I guess has been on the brakes, fuel system, etc. And I'm still leaking a quart of oil every 100 miles because of a bad oil pan gasket...

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

15K plus so far... :waah:

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Between $7-8 grand so far and this is what I have to show for it. What you dont't see is the new GM fenders, cowl hood, new tires, and the 355 short block. Otherwise as you see it. Kind of depressing when I think about it. That cost is just this go around. Doesn't include the purchase price of how the truck was originally set up when I bought it. Also doesn't include the cost of any money in it at that point either.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

Over the 25 some odd years I've had my truck, not including fuel or insurance, is just under $29,000. Thats includes purchase price, body work, paint, an engine, engine mods, a transmission or two, a few cams, aftermarket bucket seats, and every other little thing I've changed, altered or repaired since I've owned it.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

JR's ticker is up around 7K.

Re: How much money in your Squarebody?
 

around 17-18k including purchase price....i think, don't even have paint
i do have a box with every receipt for the truck, but there's no way i'm going to add it up
