I would think that, on non rebuild years, you'd be looking at more like 2-500 a year minus consumables and labour.

Averaged well over 50,000 km a year. It was nothing to be driving an hour and a half each way to a job site everyday. Also being a daily driver (and only vehicle in the drive which had to always be up and running), when I did something, I made sure that I did not have to do it again. (ie if I had the stub axle off, then everything up to that point was replaced). It has been a bit of a rolling rebuild. That and the PO may not have been that good on repairing. Basically all that is left is the front axle and the frame to be done (the frame is stopping me from driving it as a daily driver). As well I ended up with a spare carb, distributer, starter, front diff, transfercase, hydralic brake system, hydralic clutch sytem rebuild and ready to go, just pull the old off, bolt the rebuilt on and away I go.
