Gobolt Depending if you are going to do it your self or have it done will very how much time it will take. For example I am doing a frame off and I had the frame Power Coated took a few weeks to get the frame back. Next I upgraded to Disc Brakes and all new A-Frame Bushings,Tie Rods, New Steering Box,new Bushings on the Trailing Arms with renforcements to the Arms, S/S Fuel tank and 100 Micron Fuel Filter, News fuel and brake lines Etc. All this was done by me and it takes time if you are working by your self. Sixty Percent of my S/S Trim has been polished and the inter fender wells are Powder coated Engine,Tranny are mounted plus the Radiator support has been PC'ed along with a new Aluminum Radaitor and Fan installed. This has taken about 21/2 years so far. Now I have not worked very much this year on it because of a eye operation with the other eye to be done soon. Like most of us here we budget so much each period for parts etc. All the work has been done by me except the Powder Coating and Polishing. I am expecting to have a cab on roller next year at about this time! I hope. LOL!
My feeling is if you have the cash flow to send it out it will be less time down if not more time on the rebuild if doing it your self. Look in Custom Classic Trucks or Classic Truck Magizine for several good sources in those mags.
