12: So You Want an Old Truck...


Note: This truck is NOT a fixer-upper!
The items below are required to make the rattles go away, the wiring more sound, the brakes work, the gas fuel the engine, and other assorted things that you do to a non-fixer-upper.
Okay, maybe fixer-upper is the wrong term. 
This is not an OVERHAUL.
Most items listed are necessary to bring the truck to full driving soundness without the need to call AAA should it be taken for a ride.
Just know that when one thing is fixed another is always discovered that *should* be done, so parts get ordered and that thing gets done too.
Say it with me: Old Car Domino Effect.
Basically, I just want to state for the record that even if you buy a wonderful truck (like Abbey) you will still have expenses.
So be prepared.
But also be prepared to have fun doing it.

Since Abbey was my idea, the total of all this comes out of my White Russian and/or wine budget.
