Hi 53GMCPhil !
This project hasn't cost much so far. I paid 200 for the 2.5 ton 56 Chevy and 350 dollars for the 1978 Chevy four wheeler.
I saved the two frame rails of the 2.5 ton chassis, I cleaned all the rivits off with a grinder. I will be using these beams to support the floor in my living room. When the dog runs across the floor it feels like an earth quake. Steel beams are very expensive.

You may view many photo's showing the progress I have made so far
