Best $500 or less spent
 

Just looking for some ideas how about the best $500 or less spent on a mod or upgrade on your truck

Re: Best $500 or less spent
 

Do the safety stuff up to snuff first, tires, brakes front and rear, steering components, suspension. Then get or do a real tune up, rebuild carb, check distributor for mech & vac advance operation, new spark plugs, wires, etc. Now if all that stuff is good it's time to play, stereo, serpentine drive system, seat covers, head light relay kit, exhaust system........there's no end to the list.

Any idea of what year make and model vehicle we're asked an opinion on?
There are variations in the last 100 years.

I personally recommend
Sway bars
Overdrive transmission
Hid head lights
Exhaust
Posi rear end

Re: Best $500 or less spent
 

^ I agree - exhaust (w/headers!), sway bars, posi are the first things I do to any truck I've had, and usually in that order.

72 swb stepside factory v8/ auto ex army or air force truck. Best $500 I ever spent. Delivered 40 miles to boot!

Seat covers.

Re: Best $500 or less spent
 

For me it is all about the stance. Do front & rear lowering springs, rear blocks and rebuilding the front end. I want it to look killer!!

Re: Best $500 or less spent
 

Sway bar, lenses and gaskets all around, headlight relay harness upgrade, new interior door handles and window cranks, and any other small parts that you never think about. Most just concentrate on the big ticket items but a bunch of the small things that finish out a rig really show attention to detail and take it to a higher level.

I'm loving it lots of great info from all the board members again thanks for all the replys

Re: Best $500 or less spent
 

I bought the "No Limit" rear shock relocation kit and installed on my 71. Man what a differance it made. They are a board vendor also. Here is my photo gallery with install pictures. Start on page 8 and go back towards 1.

I agree, update the safety stuff first. Then have fun with it.


Not trying to hijack the thread but what shocks did you choose to use on that kit??
