I've preached this many times to others but haven't always adhered to my own words: "Save up and purchase the absolute most solid rust free and complete truck as possible. Take the time and travel to purchase the right example. Spend the money up front. This will save you time and $$ in the long run in a BIG way. You will be driving the finished product much sooner with much less time and money spent overall."

I have a truck in pieces that will likely never see the road anytime in the next 10 years because of breaking my own above rule. Surprises in life happen and derail the best laid plans. Better to have a truck that could be driven and enjoyed than a bunch of plans in dusty boxes waiting..................
