The $1200 truck 1947farmer discribes and the $2500 truck Bigdreamer bought are about $5000 worth of parts and labor apart from each outer. Bigdreamer is WAY ahead with only $1300 more invested.
Unless the adventure of rebuilding an old truck is your thing, you are always better off buying a turn key truck. Especially if it's just a run of the mill nothing special truck.
