a qustion i hate to ask but i am stumped
Well as much as i hate to ask i am looking for input on what t do to my 84. It has the drive train pretty well done and the interior is good enough for me maybe a new seat is in order. Drive wise the only mod i can think of is a posi rear end. Beside that i am just looking for ideas. maybe a cover for the bed? i don't know i want to do somthing to make it look more unique. maybe a billet grill i don't know. any ideas?
if it was your truck what would you do?

Re: a qustion i hate to ask but i am stumped
nice look truck.. I would definately add a bed cover.. either a perfectly flat one, or a soft.. I would either lower it a bit or put some larger tires on it.. thats just me though.. the fenderwells on these trucks are just huge.. Looks good though...

Re: a qustion i hate to ask but i am stumped
i found a local guy on CL with a kit for a 82 c10. i don't know how low it is though. i will not c notch or do any of that stuff. i like a muscal look not a bagged look.

Re: a qustion i hate to ask but i am stumped
Yeah you definitely need to put a posi rear in it, you must have that one tire worn down pretty good! Other than that a billet grill would look nice. If you are going for the hot rod muscle look, you can put some bigger wheels on it and drop it a couple inches. I don't know if you have a music system in it, but you could build up some custom speaker boxes and put a stereo in it. Sounds like you got some money burnin a hole in your pocket. If you've got that the possibilities are endless.

Re: a qustion i hate to ask but i am stumped
thanks alot 79 i did think of making t look stock agian like your gmc but then agian with the motor and pipes it might look strange. i like the power in her and i like the rumble. i was also thinking of a muffler/ cat bypass valve so i could run straight pipes with the flip of a switch at shows or just cusing around. BTW you may have seen the post about that F@rd truck i was looking at... Well it won't fit on my the guys trailor so i Sh@$ canned that idea. now i was thinking of this 1969 cadi that needs a motor reassemble. 400$ two door with a 472 BB. Only 70,000 original mles too. What do you think? I would be staying GM too. I was thinking maybe a cam and intake and carb and maybe headers on the 472, and then dual 3 inch exhaust with some kind of nice mufflers, window tint and some nice crager 5 spokes or tt2's to finish it off
but i think my truck could definatly use a bed cover know any links??
