Many people do not have the knowledge, the time, the space, or other means to build there own truck, or have not had a father or grandfather pass one down to them, but still want to enjoy a classic truck. Thats where I and others come in and help provide that. at affordable price. Money or value is important, to me. because if I cant make a little money, I wouldn't be able to do more and bring some of these truck back to life. I walked through my local junk yard a month or so back and there was a 69 in decent shape, it could have been something again, instead it was there just rotting away. the only solace I had was knowing that some of its parts where going to help another truck carry on. I know sounds mushy and corny but in a way its the truth. Sorry to ramble on i just thought id share a different opinion then whats been posted so far. "Not thats theres anything wrong with that"
Good read
