Thanks I definately will. The reason I am doing it is because if you look at what a new truck costs, and what a royal piece of garbage the new emmissions standards have turned them into, I think this is really the cost effective route, and I get the truck I want.
I mean a new truck off the dealers lot will cost you 135K + expecially if you want a big bunk and big power.
I am looking at a truck right now they want 14,500 for, I figure spend 8K rebuilding the motor myself, another 8 buying a reman 18 speed, figure another 4 going through the rear ends, and probably another 4 grand in paint because im going to paint it in Imron.
Then I figure another 2,500 for all new brake cans, liners and drums, and about 6,000 for a set of tires.
Then 2,500 for a set of nice seats.
That is 49,500 to rebuild the truck end to end.
So In other words for what it would cost to buy a new truck, I can rebuild 2 and still have money left over.
Now I do know it will cost more than that, I figure by the time I am all said and done I will have close to 60K in it, but what can you get for 60K today? like an 05 or an 06 with an Acert Emmisions engine in it with 500K+ on it. I think doing it my way is a better deal.
