How much
I was wondering how much money everyone has in their truck?
I'm up to nearly $15k; and still have new wheels and tires on my list to get. |

I'm only at about $5000, including the cost to buy the truck. Of course I just bought it last September, and then it sat in storage for almost 8 months. I figure I'll have at least $35-40,000 when I'm all done with it.....if I ever stop working on it
