Re: When do you consider when a truck is finished?

I'll probably consider mine finished once I put it all back together after all the rust repair, bodywork, and new paint is finished. Then, as I continue to drive and enjoy it, everything else will most likely be regular maintenance.

I've been driving it a decent amount for the past 6 years of ownership. I've already done a fair amount of modifications that improve the driveability. I've fixed a couple rust items, but the cab is the major one which will pull the truck off the road for an extended period of time. Once that's done, the truck will be finished as I have it how I would have wanted it from the factory. It'll probably be at least another year or so before I end up starting on the rust repair
