If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Riveted1 · 01-16-2008, 06:18 PM

Hypothetical question, but if you happend to buy a lottery ticket and won $10000 after taxes, what would you do TO YOUR TRUCK?

I would probably buy disc brakes, an air bag setup, and wheels/tires. Whatever was left would go toward interior fixes/upgrades.

What would YOU do?

WinDancer · 01-16-2008, 06:32 PM

I would just keep driving it until it was all gone

mcc-bri · 01-16-2008, 06:42 PM

buy a 572 big block if that was enough for one. i think they go for 12000 though.

matthufham · 01-16-2008, 06:47 PM

get one piece, power, tinted windows, air bags, new grille and bumper on the front, better stereo, make it a shortbed, put a ls series motor in it with some overdrive tranny. did i go over budget?

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-16-2008, 06:49 PM

A really great paint job....anything left would go to interior.

72BLUZ · 01-16-2008, 06:50 PM

expensive paint job for the exterior, interior, and the suspension!

**Boog** · 01-16-2008, 06:53 PM

I'd buy what I could for it and the rest would have to wait.....

custom72c20 · 01-16-2008, 06:57 PM

nothing. I'd keep driving it the way it is and put the money in the bank to get some interest and keep saving and eventually get a house. Im only 17 though.

bowtieboy93 · 01-16-2008, 07:20 PM

LOL No I wish... just looking at parts and dreaming, and thought I'd see what everyone else dreams of (for their truck)

But I must say this is the smartest guy and only 17 to boot. I sold a super sweet 70K mile original owner 72 fully loaded Blazer for $8K to buy my first house, sold that one for crazy money and bought my curent house with a shop, out building, tons of parking and storage room all posible because I sold a great blazer that I paid $3k two weeks before

Once you have a house alot of other things fall in line!

But since I have a house already I would blow mine on the starts to the new drivetrain for my 70 2WD Blazer

bad6772 · 01-16-2008, 06:52 PM

build two trucks.....ten grand for paint...wowsa........i should starting painting full time again..............

pmpski_1 · 01-16-2008, 08:12 PM

Stout rebuild for engine and tranny, freshen up the suspension and brakes, some aluminum slots and new tires, and the rest would go to insulating and heating the garage.

heavy71chevy · 01-16-2008, 08:22 PM

build me a big nasty blown 454 that eat half.. beef up my th400 and install posi and what ever else id buy a welder and replacemnt metal with

BigSky71 · 01-16-2008, 09:58 PM

LS motor, overdrive tranny and limited slip diff.

kombreeze · 01-16-2008, 10:17 PM

I'd First, sell my truck and get a 2wd drive blazer. Second choice would be to convert my truck to a quad cab rat rod. Third choice would be modern day drivetrain LT1 tuneport injection with overdrive. Last choice would be bagging the truck. Anything on my truck would be a major inprovement.

scrapmetalart · 01-16-2008, 10:46 PM

I would buy another one. rust free. low mile original short fleet...

**El Jay** · 01-16-2008, 11:23 PM

Dunno.
So many plans, so little $'s.

I guess patch panels, body work, & paint.

If there was any change, pump up the engine, it's getting tired.

xtreme80 · 01-16-2008, 11:51 PM

I would buy a ZZ4 turn key package, a posi for the rear, and get the dents fixed and all the bodywork done/painted (I get body work CHEAP from a couple friends)

**special-K** · 01-17-2008, 12:04 AM

I`d buy all the equipment/tools I don`t have to do my own body work.Finish the`67.

**70cst** · 01-17-2008, 02:46 AM

That's easy...I have $10K and it's paying for the restoration that it is presently being done on my 70cst. Now if I got another $10,000 it would pay the balance of the restoration! Oh to dream!
