    Enjoyed this truck. The end buyer gets a truck with far more labor than the truck is nominally worth. I would think that in the long run being associated with this video series will make that truck worth something to someone. I'd love it, completely on primered showing all of the work done. I could get away with that here in Arizona because nothing really rusts

    For sure, the 'one hour of work for one minute of video' theory needs to be put to the test. That would make a great video in and of itself.
    Many times I have shared your dream, that of buying a hopeless rusty pile, and flipping it for a huge loss. But we are so much more than that, we are the elite. Those of us who not only lose money, but waste copious amounts of hours planning, labor, and supplies to do so. Sometimes nothing in life compares with the joy of watching the taillights of the last year of our life's work going away down the street for the last time. And squeezing that satisfying, tiny little lump of folded cash and dreaming of the future.
    Meanwhile, I think I'd be loading the remains of that blue cab up on a trailer and take it back to Scott and try for at least a partial refund....

    Wow, she actually looks like a solid and complete '48 GMC again! I recall watching Scott's first video on the truck when it was still sitting in that field. Had a feeling it was worth being saved despite the naysayers and how rough it truly was back then, so I posted a comment pointing out the five window option being pretty rare and how the truck could be used for donor metal. Next thing I know, it ends up here! I know it was an insane project to take on, but thanks for proving me right, Kyle. Not only that, but thanks for this video series! I've grown to respect how much work goes into such a project, and your skillset and knowledge really shines through in every video.
    I'm also glad to see the truck is going to a new owner who'll appreciate it. Would love to see how the truck turns out once they're done with her. I wholeheartedly agree that it's way more cool and interesting to see an old truck being put back into service as-is instead of being turned into a hotrod or show queen, but to each his own. Also, can't help but remark about how the seasons change from the start of the video to the end. Makes one realize and appreciate how much time went into this project.
