Thank you for the replies. I worked on it full time for 3 months after working on it part time for 3 months. Most things I did twice or three times. 3 different colors tried for the cab interior, 2 different colors for the exterior. Sanded down and painted the exterior 3 times for color change or orange peel. Tried a couple of ways to fix the frame. put the engine in twice. Worked hard to reuse some parts but ended up buying replacements. Rewired a couple of sections twice. Tried to make an old carburetor work, bough a rebuilt. All the while spending about $100 for every day I worked on it. very expensive! Now I have a truck that I paid, adjusting for inflation, more for than when it was new and that is just in parts, labor not included.
