Total is fine.
If you feel like writing down an itemized list,... that would be great.
I don't think most people realized the amount of money it takes to build one of these "on the ground" beautys.

(plus it will make me feel better about all the money I spend on my "beaters". Ha.)

[67cheby]

my guess including what ever the original price of the truck is $26,500

[superflysteiny]

rims and tires 6000
truck 15000
porterbuilt drop member front and rear with steering and shaft a arms hood hinges 4500
paint inside of cab and motor compartment 1000
engine 3500
Drive and all black parts on engine 3500
torque converter 275
Powder coating 800
Air pod 2000
exhaust 800
trim 1000
interior with ac pods and controller 1500
line-x and bed metal 700
Brakes front and rear with lines and clamps 1500
diff cover 225
misc. 1000
gauges 700
might have missed something not sure but here it is, also I have a ton of parts off this truck I could sell If I wanted.44000 total

as they say in baseball....just a bit outside...

It takes not only talent but $$$ to make a ride like this one!!!

[superflysteiny]

Just think that does not include my labor

[67cheby]

or any major paint work......

[superflysteiny]

Just think that does not include my labor

[lolife99]

My guess,... in my head was around $40k.
(just think if you paid a shop to do all the labor!)

I have recently seen a lot of members swear a truck isn't worth $20k-$30k.
This is a great "reality check" for all the truck builders out there.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful truck!

[65Pickup]

Yup thanks for sharing, looks like I'll be admiring others for a while yet
...have to do it for the love not the profit, cause there is no profit. Obsessions don't have to make sense, and artists need to express themselves.

Ya I find that funny when I here that. I could have bought the blue and white 72 c10 for sale in the classified section for 30000 grand but then it would not have been mine. So I built it myself even though I new it would cost me more. Also it would be tough to by a 72 turned out laying frame with 22 and good paint for 20-30. I always think if you can do it more power to you. Then I think build it and see if you can do it for 20-30. It just is not going to happen. I have 44000 in mine. I did not pay for the motor or the front drive on the engine because two of my pts are hot rodders. One owns a motor shop and the other owns the hod rod parts shop. I traded dentistry for the motor and the drive. So of my own money I have 35000 or so in the truck. And again mario and I did all the labor.

I agree

[my4by2]

Damn, Mario did a super job on that front drive set-up - motor looks killer!!! Looks like he's gonna be handling my body & paint now - after your recommendation & talking to him definitely believe he's the man for the job! Hopefully mine will go into paint & body in June. Keep the pics coming on your truck man, your gathering quite the following!

[lolife99]

I like your truck better than the $30k blue and white '72.
I'll be looking for it on the cover of StreetTrucks magazine, as soon as it see's it's first major truck show!

Thanks for sharing the numbers. I was thinking around $40K but you can add at LEAST $10-20K if you hadn't done the labor yourself. Your ride is top notch. It makes me just a little jealous I can't afford to drop cash on my project.....should have gone to dental college I guess. Hmmm

Porterbuilt hood hinges. Full custom inner fenders. Talk to 67cheby he has a set he is getting ready to put into production. Very nice fenders

I concur....

I wish I had the time and talent to build my own stuff!!!!!

It's funny how these trucks get carried away once they get blown apart. Stuff really adds up.
