It's at my favoured classic shop awaiting the assessor visit.
Hey Mike, those trucks are pretty simple to work on. If you source used parts and do most of the work yourself (whatever you can do) you'll save probably half that cost at least. Paint and body isn't rocket science, if I could do it at the age of 15 with some skilled guidance, you could surely do it with youtube how-to-videos.

Just my .02 cents . . .
