If this truck came to me off the street and I ordered the very same stuff we put into this truck and applied the same amount of hours, it would be real close to $9000
Is it worth it? I don't know. But that's what it would cost. Is a used Harley Davidson road king worth $9000? I don't know, but that's what a lot of them cost too. Depends on what a person likes I guess.
Is somebody else's truck going to need the very same stuff? Maybe, some might need less, some might need more.
What would it cost at someone else's shop? I have no idea.
Some shops might need 20k for what I did.
I'm not trying to get rich or screw anybody over at my shop, just trying to make an honest living.
I don't know if there are many good ole boys willing to sink that kind of coin into their old pickup truck.
I sure like building trucks though. The interior work is minimal compared to most cars.
That and I really like old trucks.
I think a lot of us guys who had these trucks when we were 18 and they needed a lot of work but we didn't have the money but now days we have the resources and money saved up would do it. My first truck when I was 18 was a 73 chevy 1/2 ton with a 4spd and 205 transfer case. I stuffed a 454 in it. Had the 12 bolt rebuilt and what not but the truck itself needed a lot of loving being a broke 18yr old I salvaged parts off other trucks and spray painted in primer gray lol. So I would like to find a truck like my first one and have what you done to your sons truck done.
