ways you have saved money on your build

My truck was my daily driver in high school and since I was(and still am) getting 10-12 mpg...money wasn't plentiful. I had a bent drum backer plate that needed replacing because it ate shoes every 5000 miles. but why replace? I worked at AutoZone at the time and lifetime shoes were 19 bucks. Exhaust work is expensive so a universal glasspack kit is on there..cheap enough that I got it for christmas(around 120 bucks I think). Fuel line of the carb is a combo of cheap brake lines and rubber hose. The carb installation was me and my ex-gf's dad putting it on at 12am on a school/work night so that it would be ready for power tour 2006(Ready is a relative term)

The other key is to work at Napa...employees get good prices
