I have all the receipts, never bothered to add them up. I could spend just as much money on any hobby I might take interest in . .


I CAN say that if I were to get a custom license plate it might go something like MONYPIT.

I didn't think that I had spent that much until I added it up just now. I figured about $8100 and I really haven't done anything to the motor and did all the work myself. Promised the wifey that this one would stay stockish.

Reading all these posts makes it easy to decide what to buy and what not to buy. All you guys do the testing already.

Oh and I'll be on the hook for a Southbend clutch soon too. So add another $1200 or so to the spend column. Will install it myself.

Nobody spent more than DWiggs....... That guy had a couple hundred thousand in his truck and as soon as he finished it he wanted to sell it to build a big Peterbuilt or something like that. I'm not sure if he ever did sell it but money seems to be no issue for him......

Yeah, DWiggs is the top. Custom fabricated grill, then he buys chrome wheels and has them powder coated.... Custom lights, custom everything....
