Like I mentioned, it depends on what you start with. Kieth didn't mention his purchase price. That's part of the figure too.
Gotta find a good one to keep restoration costs down, problem is, that better example costs more initially than that rough one down the street

It's almost damned if you do, damned if you don't.

A simple cosmetic refurbish is rather cheap if the rest of the truck is good enough.

A complete restoration on a well used example, modified or not, will cost much more than the asking price of the truck in question here. But I think that comes down to personal taste and what is "good enough" for any certain individual. There aren't that many "good ones" out there anymore.

Being involved in restorations, I'm still of the mindset that, you just simply can't beat and unrestored, original paint, unmollested vehicle. I'd pay more for a survivor than I would a completely restored car. Once you start messing with them they are never the same.
