Re: New vs. building old one
If you do most of the work yoursellf and have moderate build specs you could could do a full build with a custom interior for that 25k. That would include all new driveline and accessorys. However, you could very easily spend 25k on the engine and paint. You can drop a lot more money if you plan to lower it. The key is to have a plan you can live with and the willingness and ability to turn wrenches.
I will be in around 15K on mine when I am done, and that is assuming that I use a new vintage air system. There won't be anything like it on a dealer lot. It will have the reliability of a new truck and the simplicity of an old one. New trucks will have better gas mileage and the complexity that goes with it. I understand them and can work on them, but I like the old ones better. There isn't a right answer, it is just a question of what you want.
