What would you change?
We all love our trucks, but if you had to change one thing you regret what would it be? Remember only one. I would have lowered mine first. What about you guys?

Re: What would you change?
I did, but that was more than 32 years ago, and.....
I wish I had spent the extra $$$ for a 383 when I had the 350 rebuilt.

Re: What would you change?
I wish that I hadn't pulled off my trim and filled the holes, and sold it (the trim that is), only to want it back again two years later.

Re: What would you change?
Probably kept it as a 6 and stepside. Drove it more before the tear down.

Re: What would you change?
made a tally of all the issues on my 72 burb and haggled the price down some more. i did still get a one owner 3/4 ton nearly rust free truck for $7500 and have been able to drive it while doing repairs and minor mods. the need for a full off resto is many years off. atleast it has a big tarp on it now to keep the snow off.

Not made it so nice. I don't enjoy driving it as much knowing how much $$$ invested.
