Anyway, love my old truck and would like to leave her to my grandson. Thus my quest to have her restored.
Any references, info on who I could go to would be greatly appreciated. If you have had your truck restored could you share your cost info?
TIA,
Randy

Do you really have the resources to do that? A frame off restoration will take anywhere from 600 to 1000 hours. At $100.00/hour (which is really cheap) that's between $60,000 and $100,000 in just labor. Can you really afford that or are you going to try to 'cheapen it up' and end up with a $50,000 piece of crap?
