My weekend warrior 49 Chevy 3100 all original farm truck cost me $2k. It wasn't running and the interior was a nasty critter motel. It's cleaned up somewhat now and I use it to run my weekend errands, with it's same stock 216 and Huck brakes.
My current project 49 GMC 100 cost me a running 72 Karmann Ghia in a straight up trade. The GMC wasn't running but looked solid with some desirable upgrades (power disc's, 250 bolted to a TH350 and what I think is a 70's era complete Nova rearend) and slammed to a low low rider stance. Ended up swapping the engine and rebuilding the entire brake system but thats alright as the Karmann Ghia needed floor pans and mucho body work....
