So what I am saying is if you are gonna do this for a profit you may wanna consider a different type of vehicle because 8000 comes pretty quick when redoing anything. I know most of you are doing it for the same reasons as me but I just found this interesting.
1979 Ford F150 Custom 1/2 Ton Supercab Pickup Prices, Values & Specs - NADAguides
The NADA Guide isn't worth two cents. The values are taken from what people are asking for their vehicles, not what they actually sold for.

NADA takes the prices, then averages them out to come up with their so-called values.

These trucks are not rare, there isn't a geeat demand for them, so they are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.
