Restoration Avalanche

Ok…now I know what they mean by the “Restoration Avalanche.” I took my truck in last Jan. 08 to begin the restoration of my 70cst. It has taken me about eight years to get to this point. This is where I envy all those who are mechanically gifted because I am not. I'm the type of guy who uses an adjustable wrench for a hammer. The quoted price for the restoration will be about $20 G’s and we are on target. But what I didn’t figure out was the expenses of the complete wiring harness, ac expenses, all the trim parts, steering box, and other related costs involved. I have already purchased lot of the interior parts. Be that as it may…I know when my truck is done it will be worth the added expense. At least 70cstjr will think so. As mentioned my 99 Taco TRD with 56,000 miles will be sold to assist in the cost of getting my 70cst on the road. Ok…I feel better now. I figure it is better to be poor and happy than rich and in the cave.
