Your top three...

[lil hoodlum]

Hi everyone. I have a question that I have allways been curious about.

Since we all share the same basic model trucks,

What are your top three repairs, improvements, or upgrades that you have done to your truck that increased your enjoyment?

Mine are in no particular order:
[*]Adding disc brakes
[*]Rewiring entire truck with aftermarket harness
[*]tightening up front end suspension and steering components

Let's hear yours.

You have to add HEI , disc brakes

[oldblue1968chevy]

disc brakes, I guess hei, ps/pb

disc brakes DEFINITELY

[vectorit]

I kept mine stock as an end result, but here are a few that come to mind.

1. Removed the headers, and reinstalled the original ram horns.
2. Removed all the butchered wiring, and reinstalled all new OEM harnesses.
3. Installed quieter mufflers, and ran the tail pipes out behind the rear tire.

[dfwright]

1) Pulled it out of the mud
2) Dragged it home from my mom's place
3) Began a frame-off <--- still in progress

[Dingfodgy]

I guess my three top mods were;

1. '03 Silverado 40/20/40 seats w/ integrated shoulder belts.
2. Hella E-code H4 Headlights w/ relays.
3. Serpentine Accessory Drive kit w/ 1-wire alt.

[dirtball]

1 Losing the extra 20"s of frame and bed
2 4/6 drop
3 New paint

[72BlckButy]

Found it, bought it, drove it...


Okay okay... top three upgrades:

1. 4.5/6" drop
2. 6-lug disc brake upgrade
3. Billet Specialties Vintec/Toyo Proxes S/T ii's

[capev86]

on my 72 burb 3/4 ton that already has disc brakes...

1: CPP front sway bar / rear poly bushings...
2: Petronix electronic ignition
3: q-jet and 4 row radiator swap

(class IV or V 2x2 receiver hitch....still pending.....)

[DaddyO]

Rebuilt my entire truck..............

[67ChevyRedneck]

1. Vintage Air
2. 700R4
3. Power Disc Brakes

[Stocker]

Haven't done much besides pour fuel through it like sand down a rat-hole.


I guess if I had to pick three things, in no particular order...

1. HEI

2. Headlamp relays & wiring

3. Shift Improver kit

4. 2.5" Softride front springs


OK, so I am mathematically challenged!

[jojo]

1. Threw out the 305 and had rebuilt 350 motor installed (no more oil leaks!)
2.Threw out the TH350 had rebuilt 700r4 installed (no more oil leaks!)
3. re-installed the doors after rust repairs so I could drive it (it sat there for 3 months and I was chomping at the bit)

Don't even ask me about my list of least favorite improvements.

[rsavage]

On the latest project, the Basic Burb, adding PS, PB, and a 2004R mad it much more pleasurable to drive. They would rank as my top 3.

[Kayotic]

Fair enough,

HEI, on the 250 I6

Air bags (kept simple using stock locations)

Audio - (To be determined)

Assuming of course there are no safety issues that need to be addressed immediately.

[raycow]

Only one significant improvement so far: I replaced the 4 speed transmission with a 5 speed, so I could drive the truck at freeway speeds. I also replaced a blown engine, but just with a stock 305, so I wouldn't call that much of an improvement

On the list:

BRAKES!
Power Steering
Get the fuel tank out of the cab

This is a working truck, so there likely won't be any major appearance changes.
