Re: How Much Have You Spent

Way too much and I'm about to spend a lot more.

I bought the truck for $6000 (Canadian) and put about $1500 to get it in good running order.

Over the first winter, I put about $15,000 into a 73-87 front disc and power brake suspension, rear axle flip, a new 3:73 posi, new 5 bolt axles, new radiator, vintage air and a little bling in the engine compartment.

Now, I have started a complete teardown to powder coat the frame and start a full build up including front and rear air bags, new header and exhaust and a complete restoration on the body. Including paint, I'm thinking I will be spending another $15-20K. What the heck is wrong with me .
