I decided to screw together a hot rod with what I have at home in the yard and on the shelves. I'll have to replace most of the rubber parts(hoses, etc) but I think I can do it for under $2000. About all I'm going to have to buy is some headers ,a cam and gaskets for the engine and maybe new kingpin bushings for a 4" dropped axle I just bought for $275. I only paid $900 for a truck and a half so I should be able to sell some of the extra parts to offset the expenses. The start.
