Fresher than fock.


That is a great looking truck I would love to find a 74 Ford hi-boy with the 1ton running gear under it. Please educate us dumb Alaskans on what an off the frame restoration like this would cost??

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.






Something clever here.

I think, you do not need to be apologetic about your work. Your are much more than a craftsmen - more of an artesian.

A thought:

"I really would like to be rich, so I could appreatiate talent and help making sure it survives by paying fair in all resorts prices."

This would include a truck by Shaw Classic Autoworks - shipped to Europe, hand delivered. All expences paid. Just to have you show me all the bells and whistles and here you say: "Hold my Beer and watch this."

The Beer would most probably be either a Radeberger or a Hasseröder from Tab.

Thats what I would do.

Later I would go pick up Darcy Echols up in that truck at the Airport, delivering a Legend.

Thats what I would do.

Albeit - words of thanks is all I got. Probably for the best...

Have a great birthday.

Thank you.

That's silly talk Tom.

You built exactly what you wanted, you had a vision from the beginning of your project and you followed through exactly to plan.

Like I said, I can't wait to see your truck with some Bambi fluids leaking from the back bumper area.

cool

Dave, I think the $9k price would be very fair. In most cases I believe it would be less than what you would expect to pay, especially with the top quality work you do.

There's no equal to a job that is done by a guy that cares about what he's doing.

Hey Dave,
Are you doing all that exterior spray, too?? Looks pretty darn good!
