The other thing I'm running into, and it's really a whole different topic, is the issue of buying a truck needing work versus buying a truck that's already been fixed up. I believe you never generally get your money out of these projects, so do I spend $4K on a truck and put $11K in it, or just buy a completed one for $15K. It's difficult to answer because every truck has differences. Like I said, it's really a different debate, not part of this thread.
