What are you buying your truck for xmas?
 

I've seen the threads asking what everyone kind of progress everyone has done on their trucks on the weekends. I thought this might be a good idea to see what people are buying their trucks for christmas. I'm not exactly sure what I plan to buy. I'm thinking some 15x10" wheels for my truck. What is everyone else buying their truck for christmas?

Tags wouldn't hurt. :lol:

Probably a Sport-Comp full-sweep 2"-1/16" fuel gauge, and a speedo cable that will mate to my 5" Pro-Comp speedo.


Set of these valve covers couldn't hurt.

Speaking of Speedometer cable. Anyone know the factory length of them?

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
 

I painted the gauge cluster black and the needles and it looks like new. Hope to get it primed and buying it a transmission oil pan most likely.
I'll sneak it home xmass eve and Christmass morning my wife can go outside and find it running and looking way better, with a pair of tickets on the dash to the PBR in the new dallas stadium with her favorite country singer opening the show!!
