Whats on your 'to do' list?

I have some, quite a few!! Just wandering who is worse off than me. I hate previous owners! Maybe by seeing other people problems, my pockets wont feel so empty.

-Find mystery Trans problem
-Trim bottom front corner of fenders
-Replace missing wingnut for aircleaner
-Battery holddown
-Adjust rear brakes
-Get custom true dual exhaust with Magnaflows
-Tune carb
-Finnish primer
-Install door pannels, figure out the rusted screws..
-Install carpet/whole rest of interior
-Shop around for good stereo place for install of everything
-Gear Vendors overdrive (4.56, 35's suck on highway)
-Actual paint job, undecided color

Re: Whats on your 'to do' list?

Thats quite the list man. I feel a little better now. Trans problem solved (vacume of all things) , and Chevelle steering wheel installed. So thats a few off my list. BTW, I second the thought about the Claws. It seems every time Ive seen them in person on a truck, they were bald. X-AT's are

Re: Whats on your 'to do' list?

My`72 K2500 has a list.I divide the needs into groups of priority.

Group#1:
*Tie rod ends...last wear parts to replace.Still has play
*Lift kit...springs are settled bad and shocks are shot.I want higher
*Tires...worn to where they affect the steering.I want taller

Group#2:
*Seat...either fix foam and new cover or swap-out to saddle interior that I have
*Carpet
*Speedo cable...so I know how far I drive
*Fix fuel gauge...so I know how much fuel I`ve used

Group#3:
*Windshield...foggin`up
*Fix surface rust above rear window
*Window seals...all
*Replace rockers,fix dent in left door and right fender

That would get it right.I`d like to paint it,replace all the trim,rebuild the motor,swap to 4.10 axles,have radio modified into a 180w am/fm/cd/mp3/xm...

Re: Whats on your 'to do' list?

So one more will be off the list. Right now, my truck is getting true dual -exhaust, with magnaflows, h-pipe, and side exit before the wheels. Cant wait.
That stock Y pipe is a horrible design BTW!
