My truck will have a new, turn key GMPP 350 HO, 330 horsepower.
My truck will have a new, pro built 700R4 transmission
My truck will have the rear end pro built with new 3.42 posi gears
My truck will have a new Vintage Air AC system, pro installed
Front end has been rebuilt. Brakes done. Truck was clean when I got it.
I will Dynomat and insulate the crap out of it, to keep the heat and noise out.
My truck will get a decent "mech-less" stereo.
Gonna leave the body alone. It's far from perfect, but that's fine by me.
Will get new carpet, a headliner and maybe a new seat cover. I am watching the "replacement seat" threads, and Craigslist... I might jump if I find something nicer...

My truck will be basically new from radiator to rear end gear. It has the three things I really need - reliable power, cranking AC and tunes. Nothing else... No power windows, no power locks, no Nav, no airbags, no EFI, no computers, no ABS, no remote door locks, no power seats, no power windows. Hell, it doesn't even have power brakes.

I have a short commute to work.

I will see if I am happy with the truck as a daily driver. I hope so.

Thats pretty much what i'm thinking bout doing, My only dilemma is winter and salt... I'd hate to put a decent old truck through it lol
