About 200 hours but I really have no idea. I put a lot of things out - engine rebuild, bodywork and paint on the cab. I also have a young boy who works abot 10 hours a week. At first I only had him pull parts off the junk trucks and clean parts, but now he is getting pretty good.
A few things really cause the time to add up. One is that the truck was in really bad shape. It probably was not a good choice for as nice as I am making it but it had lots of sentimental value. Another is that I try to restore as many parts as possible rather than replace them.
It has also been pretty expensive. But it sure is pleasant.
