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:

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?

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.....

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.
