Does anyone know of a software program for tracking your rebuild from start to finish? It would be a nice thing to have, except for knowing how much you spent!!!!

I use excel and/or Google sheets. I don't really keep track of money that closely but it is a good reference for what parts I used if I need to know later. The forum is also a good place to document info for yourself and others.

Thanks for the reply. I started an Excel file and I think that will be fine. Haven't purchased the 67 F100 short bed yet; but I am going to see it today.
I just keep a folder with the invoices of all my parts purchases. Which apparently doesn’t work real well because in 6 months I bought rear drum hardware kits in triplicate, forgetting I had already ordered them.

Or I go into my folder of receipts to get a receipt to exchange a "lifetime warranty" part, and the ink has faded so you can't read the receipt, or there is no description of what the part actually was on the receipt. Now I link a jpg of the receipt to the excel spreadsheet showing when I purchased it so it's easy to find when I need it..

I do the same thing. If the receipt isn't a confirmation order email, then I scan the hard copy and drag into my trucks folder on my laptop.
JimSyg see attached Excel Sheet I have been building. This gives me the chance to review pricing and keep a tab on how much is invested.
Eric, I love to have quick answers for questions and your spread sheet gave me a great idea! I'm going back into the file cabinet and create a spread sheet of what I've spent and put a shortcut on my desktop. When that age old question comes up, "do you have any idea how much you've spent on that truck?" , I'll have the answer right at my finger tips!!!! followed by and her reply !!
My receipts, at least most of them, are in a shopping bag hung on a hook above the workbench in the garage.
Some day when I want a good cry I will add them all up

Microsoft has a program called Project. It is for tracking the life of any kind of build. But I will agree that documenting your project here is one of the best ways to keep track.

I have used that through work... It would only remind me how I am over budget and behind schedule haha.
