You will NEVER get what you put into a truck.. My '89 F150 is a total mess - dents in it, house paint spatter baked onto the right side, the hood is peeling and messy, the fender is dented, and the bed is partially bedlinered..
I just spent over $4,000 on restoring the engine and running gear. Must be totally mad. The truck is probably only worth $2,500, if that.
