Rebuild costs

[pfarber]

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:
