An undercarriage for a D8 can run up to and above $25,000 U.S. There is still great support in way of parts from CAT. If the undercarriage is pretty well shot(the pins have been turned and worn down again and the rails about gone) then it would probably be tough to break even let alone turn a profit. You may get away with new sprockets (or sprocket segments, not sure which was used in 58')for what you intend to do.

The D8H was and still is a great machine. They can also be 35 tons of money pit if you don't know what your getting into!
