Re: cost of restoration

You guys don't realize how "lucky" you are, '67-'72 Chevy truck are CHEAP to restore/build! I have been doing restoration work and drag racing Buick Gran Sports for quite awhile now, I'm loving doing my '70SWB!
Here are some examples:
Chevy truck tailights--less then $20.00 a pair
Buick Gran Sport taillights-------$249.00 pair
Truck dash cluster bezal --$40.00
Buick dash bezal--no aftermarket available, $300.00 to rechrome
Truck headers--$119.00pr.
Buick $400.00+ pr.
Truck grille--$400-450 inner & outer
Buick $1000.00

I could go on and on, while true, a restoration isn't cheap, if you can do most/some of the work yourself, these trucks are actually very resonable to restore.
