That 80 is worth $34k in my mind. 1st off remember what they cost new. second look at new vehicles today. $34k is half of a new one. There are a huge spread in personal income ranges on this site. people spend this amount of money in fuel to fly a B17 bomber on a weekend! So what I am saying is if you cant afford it dont shoot holes in it. I have a V8 80 series that I built myself and I am telling you it takes a ton of time to convert one of these correctly. Time is money fellas. I really enjoy the challenge of doing big projects like this. I didnt do it to save money. If I wanted to have a truck done tomorrow I would have paid someone like TLC to get it done. Places like TLC and other shops on mud are in business to earn a living, feed their kids etc. They cant do it for free, and they deserve to be paid a fair price to do such unique and quality work.

While we are on this subject two other great deals of trucks for sale are Podvins 100 series and slees short bus. One couldnt even come close to copying those trucks for the money and time invested in them. If I had more time to wheel and more car storage would buy the both of them.

Just my 2 cents friends!
