The cost of restoring it depends on what condition it was in when you got it.A rust free truck won't cost nearly as much as a rusted out one because you don't have to spend a bunch of money on new body panels,pay someone to do the body work if you can't,etc.I have $5000 in mine,it doesn't even run yet.It has been a complete ground up restoration so far and I have replaced the complete body for a body in better shape.Eventually it will be done,but that's several thousands of dollars away.
