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,

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?
