Mike,
Depending on how much work you can do yourself, brakes, motor, etc.
Consider your final cost.
You can easily spend $10,000 - $13,000 in parts
Rebuild motor, at a shop, $2,000 plus They furnish parts
Paint depending on quality %3,500 -$6,000
Tires $500 plus
Chrome plating, bumpers, grill, etc, $3,000 plus
Body shop work approx. $65.00 per hour
Price of truck $400.00
You could easily put $25,000 into this truck
I'm not trying to discourage you just telling you what to expect down the road. It is a fun hobby if you have the time & money to invest.
If you decide to DIY can get a wealth of knowledge from this forum!
You may decide to purchase a truck that is finished and just enjoy driving it.
Either way good luck with you decision.
Harold
