I have posted a few times and gotten some great responses and I am hoping for the same here. No matter which way I take my project I am going to do it right, learning as I go, complete frame off restore. That being said, both time and money are a huge factor as of right now. I'm obviously not talking weeks and I am not rushed, I just want to drive this baby. This will be a daily driver, not to offend anyone but I just don't have the money to spend thousands on a beautiful piece of work that sits under a cover in a garage. Maybe one day?
So...all personal preferences aside, i am debating a complete restore or a v8 mod with an s-10 chassis underneath and want to know which is best for the following.....
Total value after restore is compete
Total time it took to do the restore
Total headaches caused along the way
Total money spent restoring the truck.
Again I am not planning on selling this truck once it is finished but it would be nice to get an idea of what it would be worth at the end.
Here are pics of my truck. Bought it off a high school buddy for $200 and his great grandma bought it new in 1954
