Re: 1990 GMC Suburban ... Cummins Powered

Yep 30k is nutz ... stuff just adds up . could have just put the cumins in the stock burb ... you seen the pic's I started with ...
Once the project starts it just adds up ... I could have spent more time tracking down used parts , most of the time stuff is all ready beat and my time working my job VS. time to hunt for parts was not worth it for me .
I'm at the point that I don't look back , its like buy and new truck that no one has and the cool factor is ... pretty cool ...LOL
Truck is worth more in parts than whole ...
3k for a rust free suburban .
3k for a 1996 12valve with low miles .
4k for a built dodge cummins NV4500 with 205 .
2k in suspension .
5k into axles and all the new parts
4k tires and wheels
2k in NOS body parts
1k in fasteners
1600 driveshafts
Right there is 25k and thats not encluding all the misc crap ... I don't even think about anymore ... it was the last one I build .
To be honest I did not mind spending the money its just the time ...I run a business so for me to find time is pretty tough these days .
