Rebuild costs

Postby pfarber » Fri Apr 05, 2013 2:48 pm

Since overhaul of the 43 Chevy is in full swing, I thought it would be interesting to list what the costs are for getting an otherwise in tact mostly original truck back in operation.

Basically the truck is your typical 'garage find'. Ran 10-20 years ago, set aside as a project and never touched again. The truck doesn't need major work, just a going over, repaint, freshen up the motor, check the tranny/transfer/axles etc etc.

So, off the bat:

UPDATED 5/11/2013

Brakes:
Rebuilt 3rd series vac $350
New brake lines and master cylinder rebuild $260
New brake line hoses: $30

Motor:
Clean, mic, pressure test block, heads, crank for cracks/leaks/overhaul $300
Tune up parts: $25 (cap, rotor, points, condenser)
Additional Motor machine work - $300
Master parts kit for rebuild - $850

Electrical:
New VWoM harness $1200

Interior:
New seat covers: $150
Headliner/screws and rear window seal: $76
New cut rear window and passenger door glass: $75


Total so far: $2456
