How much does your truck cost?

I did a little figuring the other estimating prices and all the parts that I will need for my 68 that I'm working on a frame off restoration/modification.

I came up with a total of just under $20k, and that doesn't include paint (that I'll be doing myself). Knowing this amount and how much I have, I may change a few plans (such as modify the trailing arm cross member off of my parts truck rather than buying a new "drop" cross member). When all is said and done, I'm fully figuring on a total of around $30k.

Also, my 72 which owned and worked on for the last 10+ years, I've spent about $20k on it. Now that does include several sets of tires, an engine rebuild, and then a different engine, wear and tear items, and other cost associated with just driving a vehicle for 10 years, but non the less it's still quite a bit of money.

So here's the question. How much money have you or will you spend on your truck? What condition is it or will be in. I'm going for show quality for the 68, so my bar has been set pretty high.

The 72 is now in a "nice clean daily driver/cruise in status"
