There are plenty of nice trucks in that low 20's price range that you would have a hard time duplicating for the same money unless you have some serious scrounging and bargaining ability. A few years back I saw a guy sell a real nice truck that he had spent quite a bit of money on over about five years including a real nice paint job, nice interior and mag wheels. A couple of my buddys who knew him pretty well said that the reason for selling it was that he had taken it to a few shows and never won a trophy and was totally disappointed with it. I never saw it again after it sold because it left the area. Someone got a bargain because everything on it was first rate top of the line stuff and the paint and interior were done by well respected shops. I think his paint choice and wheel choice probably cost awards because the truck looked like a five or six year build with the hot lick when he started paint and wheels.
