But are those of us who spend a fortune rebuilding an old truck also suckers? Probably I guess. I personally feel better buying parts and stuff, but it adds up!

3 or 4 years ago the wife and I were putting out hay in the old '96 F250 gasser and the **** wouldn't turn to heat and then a trim piece fell off the dash. I ask her if she could imagine the money it would take to get it back in tip top shape and keep it there? She shook her head and said good thing we're not going to try. Well I started on it 6 months ago and it's costing me. This truck was already nice the parts just get old and need replaced. It's a fun project though.
