You have to calculate what the total price of your project will cost...You might buy the truck for $2500 but how much will you spend to get it right????. Last year I bought a 78 silverado for $17,500 from a guy who invested $36,000.00 to make it perfect. He replaced every part except the frame. What I got was a perfect 25 year old truck. The body panels and all the other parts were bought over the counter at his local chevy dealer. He was not happy with anything less than perfection. You should try to find a truck that someone else has restored like this one....that way their loss is your gain.
I am in the process of looking for a sports car and have decided to sell this truck. It now has 8000 miles on it and as far as I know it still hasn't seen a drop of rain. It is still nearly perfect, and I am asking only $16,500.....Quite a deal as opposed to spending $36,000 to restore another truck again. Good luck with your decision....just remember to look at the big picture. If I can Help E-mail me at
