Could a teenager build this in one month?

Depends on how you want it to look. It could be done in a month but it won't look that great because you wouldn't have time to clean up everything, re-paint/powder, new weatherstripping, wiring, bushings, etc.

That truck looks like it was possibly a nice truck at one time. Wonder why it got stripped and scapped?? I don't see it going back together in a month.

To answer the original question, I would say yes. I know my 18 year old son could do it, and he has a full time job to boot. As far as cheep, thats a loaded question. I would think it could be done for around $2000. This would depend, of course on your talents. My son can weld, fabricate, and scrounge parts very well. On my old 72, he stripped it to the frame, swapped drive train, rebuilt the engine, I built the trans, installed hydroboost, and had it on the road in 5 weeks.

There is three of us that rebuilt my truck together everyday for 4-6 hours a day, plenty of money to buy new parts and it still took us three months and my truck was a driver already. You are looking at least 8-10 months for us to do that job and done right with alot of experience.




I would love to go to that junkyard just to look around.

good luck with whichever descision you make...
