There’s a place in Texas that will buy and restore older pick ups from the 70s to early 80s. Not quite a frame off restoration but pretty darn close. Then they turn around and sell them sometimes they will have even a new motor in them. Rebuilt at a very minimum. Their costs are actually reasonable considering what you’re getting with the amount of work that’s gone into them. Usually in the high 30s to mid 40s. Still high compared to what the original costs were half the price of new trucks. If I were to ever have to buy another truck, that’s exactly what I would buy if it was going to be “new”
