Ok, here is something I'm going to do that I would not normally do.

I would like you all to be serious and tell me what you think that it cost me to build this truck including the purchase price.

The truck was one step away from being a doner truck for some one elses project. There was rust in the usual places as well as dents and creases galore all pulled and filled with metal .... this is not a bondo wagon. It has been lowered, shaved, new chrome, interior, converted to pwb, pwrs, edelbrock intake, 650 Holley, comp cam, new exhaust, new rad, battery, wiring, wood bed, tail light lenses etc. .... used to be a gold/fawn color so the black is a complete color change.

I hope the response is good and not just goofy posts as the point that will be made will be of interest to all that are contimplating building their own truck!

esll.
