I'm missing a lot of details. Nearly every piece of the truck is brand new or rebuilt using new parts. I am an ASE certified mechanic, this is not "slapped together". There are no major expenses needed to finish the truck. Front and rear bumpers are needed and I'm sure there are the nickel and dime parts.

National Parts Depot will be sorry to see this project finished! The last time I was there they had over 15K in "stuff" on file.
