Figure that'll run the better part of $15,000 - $20,000, but that's still almost 1/3 - 1/2 the price of a new truck, and it'll be a custom, and should retain it's value nicely.


That's true, but it would still be a 1977 PU that would have value of maybe 50% of what you put into it.

This looks like it's a sentimental truck. So it may not make sense to anyone but yourself. These types of projects I understand. So have fun with it. It's not about the money, it's about the love for your first ride.

My first ride was a 1986 Capri. The first car I ever owned. The first car I ever drove was a 1972 orange Maverick with a 350. Now that was one ugly car with balls. I would get nothing like that now. Orange, maybe. But a Maverick???

Enjoy your project.
