PoBoy just having fun with yuh for a minute. im going to make you hate you avatar. Does it say "Blo Blu"?

 

Haha! Not a hockey fan I take it. Its actualy BLD BLU = Bleed Blue, the St. Louis Blues hockey slogan. The fact that those are Michigan plates and I had them when I lived in Detroit - Hockey Town RedWings city - makes it even more special. Redwings Suck!

 

Awww ok sorry was just poking fun at it. I love hockey but dont follow it as much as I should. I knew it had a sport sig to it. Thanks for the true meaning though. Ben

 

I can just say i bout my truck in 2000 used for $25K. Over the past few years I must have spent $3K in aftermaket parts going on and off. Mostly in sounds and useless stuff that I find cool. Like the tornada i not longer use, the countless for lights I have stacked in the garage, the tons of grill mesh I take on and off the truck. But, I finnaly have direction now and have finshed most of the project that I wanted to.

I can't get over your find and so close to me! Lucky dawg. Love that thing!

 

Purchase price....... FREE
Cost to build it back up ......... @$7000.00
Stereo (taken out of my wrecked car) ....... $50 to reinstall
Lift, tires & rims ...... @$2000.00
Future things ........ ($_______.00 insert amount here)

We only live once, why not!

 

Price of truck (new) $10,000
Engine: $1500
Blower & heads: $2000
EFI: $600
Rear axle: $1800
Cooling system: $400
Seats: $100
Tranny, tcase & adapters: $1600
Instrumentation: $400
Stereo: $300
Aux fuel tank: $150
Tires & wheels: $450
Odds'n'ends: ~$500

Total: $19,800 or almost double the original price. I'm sure I'm forgetting things and I left out items that were there but are not anymore. They'd probably add another $2-3000 to my total expense. I'm also not including the imminent front axle rebuild that I'm projecting to cost $600-750. I have no clue about maintenance expenses, how much would twenty years worth come to?

Just estimating here:
3 oil changes per year: 3×20×$20 = $1200
Tranny fluid changes (every year): 20×$25 = $500
Diff & tcase changes (every two years): 3×10×$10 = $300
Tune ups (every three years): 7×$100 = $700
So probably another $2700-3000 in maintenance
