Incidental costs to rebuilding trucks
First time project by a mile. Speaking for myself..........
Three carts and a work table. Just when I thought I was done buying casters and building carts, I recently bought four 10" locking casters to turn the frame into a cart. I managed to make the cab cart difficult, but I'm real happy with the design. Built a rolling platform to lay the cab on it's back....looking forward to doing that. I thought I had a lot of tools, but hardly. Impact and sockets, a couple grinders, far too many tools/supplies to mention. I had never used any of them until now. New Engine hoist, engine stand, transmission jack, floor jack, four sets of stands. Blew near $800 on paint supplies for parts & frame. Since then I've changed my mind in favor of Powder coat and professionally painted. Besides, my compressor is marginal. Be cool to have a new one, ha! Ooooooops.......Required storage space and organization is wow, just wow. Won't bore you with what I've documented, but somewhere around 200 pages excluding lists and graphs. I can say I'd never heard of NOS, BBC, half the other stuff nor 90% of the parts. Had I known what a SWB was, my user ID wouldn't be quite so obvious ![]() It may have had an impact on my marriage to extent as well, but divorce was a long time coming anyway, trust me, I was there ![]() ![]() ![]()
