kevin from oc · 12-23-2004, 01:38 PM

My truck got a new set of 17x10 and 17x8 boyd coddington smoothies with toyo tire. I let her open them early and she loves em.....

70 shorty · 12-23-2004, 01:47 PM

Mine got titled and registered for christmas, so I can actually drive it on the street. Now my Camaro on the other hand got a new 3.42 posi rear, upgrading from a 3.08 open.

Peregrine · 12-23-2004, 01:53 PM

ECE drop spindles and springs, upper/lower ball joints. And she gets new tires soon after the install. All this snow and steel belts showing just does not work.

toddtheodd · 12-23-2004, 01:55 PM

Mine is getting a new front suspension. Grandparents sent me a christmas check big enough to cover it

Nothing, I thought that was the guy at the North Poles job. Hope he's not flying a F*** sleigh! LOL

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-23-2004, 02:26 PM

I got a couple things for my truck:

Four steel 8 lug rims with hubcaps from a '85 3/4 ton
New weatherstrip + sill plates
New Custom/20 emblems and used 8-350 emblems that look awesome!
Cab from a '70 1/2 ton in awesome shape, cab swap will happen next year I hope.

**StingRay** · 12-23-2004, 02:33 PM

fresh 350 30 over, torque plate honed, line bored, decked and balanced with hypereutectic flat tops, mild cam, hv oil pump, roller chain, roller tipped rockers and a rebuilt th350 to put behind it. Also two new repro fenders and a bumper.

stickshift_or_walk · 12-23-2004, 03:44 PM

The 69's getting new stainless mirrors (inside & out), a black cowl screen, and a vacuum gauge.

At least, those are the ones wrapped up under the tree - there's a whole list of other stuff already in various stages of installation that's being billed as part of the Christmas goodies as well...

I bought "Old 70" a rebuilt Th350. But she has since demanded a new batter & cables as well.

CaperCat · 12-23-2004, 04:47 PM

Bought some stainless steel cowl vent "crap catchers" from Tim Christian.

meathead95 · 12-23-2004, 04:52 PM

everything to finish my 468/th400 swap plus tilt, tach, and new inner outer fenders, rad support and cowl hood. :-)

mocwon · 12-23-2004, 04:56 PM

Painless wiring harness for TPI and Sony stereo.

ale8oneboy · 12-23-2004, 05:25 PM

She got some TLC and an extended stay in the garage bay... Poor thing used have sit outside like a bad dog.

greasemonkey · 12-23-2004, 05:37 PM

A set of component speakers. They should come in sometime next week and then I will have some good sound in the old truck.

Have any pictures? I would love to see how the 17" smoothies look. I only have 15". Unless the Boyd ones are different than other smoothies?????

**Palf70Step** · 12-23-2004, 06:10 PM

parts from the junkyard to rebuild the driver's door as well as a hurst shift knob

Goffer · 12-23-2004, 06:15 PM

Ceramic coated dynomax headers, and Flowmaster's super 40's. Works all done and sounds great. Plus I love having the exaust dump just before the rear tire on either side.

spencra · 12-23-2004, 06:20 PM

I'm still making my list via the Chevy Duty catalog.

gonebad2 · 12-23-2004, 06:34 PM

The truck is already way too spoiled. However, I am going to finish it up so I can start driving it. It's been in the build process for almost three years.

teeitup · 12-23-2004, 06:39 PM

My Blazer is hopefully getting sandblasted this week and then getting painted and put back together for summer. I got it a original AM-FM, 72 towhooks, tilt, and speed warning/tach cluster for Christmas!!!
The 67 is getting a set of buddy buckets!!

TugOwar · 12-23-2004, 06:43 PM

Vent window seals, rivet kit, handles and a set of new door locks. Arrived today from Tim Christian. He gave me a good deal and hes easy to do business with. He knows the meaning of customer satisfaction.

purple gas · 12-23-2004, 06:46 PM

Gee, I didn't get my truck anything. How many shopping days left till X-mas?

68cajun · 12-23-2004, 07:15 PM
