I have seen too many unfinished projects get sold for a fraction of what they could have obtained as a running truck. If you only have one truck...do finite weekend projects as BILLA suggested and keep it running. Just my 0.02!
Well, im not doing a frame off.. The frame has been done, and the cab doesnt need to be off at all. Might need to put some new cab mounts in for fun, but thats about it... Front end, some rust work on the cab, and the back end...

I do have a second vehicle, actually 2 more second vehicles. Mediocre amount of shop space, understanding wife (truck was her idea) average amount of disposable income, NO PATIENCE, a semi long range plan and im stable.. At least my doctor says i am...

The vehicle could start up and drive right now.. Its just missing the front end. ahaha
