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?

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
Tags wouldn't hurt.
 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. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/350-S...item588af3308d 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!!

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
Potentially a new radiator, depends whether or not I can limp this one along until I do my 6.0 swap. Other than that...new U-joints, pretty much.

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
gonna get some paint mixed in spray cans and some sand paper and crap to fis my 88, since it got hit last week, and ran. Guess I'll be fixing it myself. It'll be a spring time christmas present for it. Too cold to do it now.

Does 32 gallons of her favorite beverage count? If my wife bought me that, I would be happy.

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
My truck has been getting a DJM flip kit, all new bushings and front end, 2.5" drop spindles, and 2" drop springs since November when I've found time to install this stuff...for xmas I hope to find a nice set of plain steel 17" rims in 5x5 pattern...7's for the front, 8's for the rear.

Re: What are you buying your truck for xmas?
RE-7's, and well, the initial truck I guess, hopefully comes this weekend! If not, I'm buying a triangulated 4 link, tubular control arms, York compressor and a tank! Kind of an A$$ backwards Idea, but you gotta wait for deals in Alberta!
