If you had the money what would you do to your truck? - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jorgensensc · 10-21-2013, 01:36 PM

On my suburban,
Duramax/ Allison swap, new paint blue and white in truck style (like hart rod). Truck rear taillights, tailgate, 4th door mod, combine hatch and tailgate into auto lift gate, rear hatch glass opens, side glass and back hatch glass with no gaskets, huge long sunroof (like newer vans and Audi wagons) with automatic screen. Custom interior using buckets up front, and buddy buckets on the back two rows that fold up for rear access, all in stock looking houndstooth. AC vents in the rear with vents along the sides. Air bag suspension, not to mention power windows, locks, hydro boost, etc.
Can you tell I've thought about this much?
Shawn

del4fun · 10-25-2013, 10:04 PM

Would the back AC vents be under the front seat?

jorgensensc · 10-25-2013, 10:40 PM

Nope, not on my build. They would be in the headliner between the panoramic sunroof and the edge of where the headliner is on the sides. It would be a perfect run on both sides.

Dingfodgy · 10-26-2013, 12:43 AM

See below...........any questions? Add in the body mods im already a$$ deep in, plus a nice coat of "Sepang Bronze" & "Titanium". Mix in power windows, a/c, keyless ignition, e30 projectors w/hid, custom fabbed LED tails and a leather & wool interior and it'd be close to done!

Davis53 · 10-26-2013, 06:52 AM

If I had the money? I would give it to Foose grab a glass of Scotch and watch!

del4fun · 10-27-2013, 09:12 PM

Amen Bro, to Foose and pass the scotch

del4fun · 11-11-2013, 07:22 PM

Maybe a matching 1972 Blazer would be cool

My twin truck !

Cole Trickle · 11-11-2013, 08:36 PM

Roadster shop chassis,big breaks with a nasty N/A 454 LSX hooked up to a 6 speed tremec.....

del4fun · 11-25-2013, 11:51 PM

Yeah Man!

Haggis · 11-26-2013, 04:04 AM

I'd build 2.
The 69 will always be my comfy workhorse so I'd do the 8bolt Disc swap up front, 14bolt or dana swap rear, proper slight lower (2.5/4), pumped up LQ9/4l80 swap, Custom build a short extended cab with a standard longbed, new pair of comfy buckets up front with extra soundproofing and a nice stereo inside.

Then for my hotrod, I'm wanting a short stepper C10-maybe a 67-68 GMC for a different style. Lowered 4/6, old school 454/th400/built 12bolt and set up for street-strip fun, all business interior.

If I had all the money I wanted I'd buy a sweet truck.

CaliLivn · 11-26-2013, 05:23 PM

If drop off my truck with Delmo for a frame off stock looking resto with Delmo rims an all the touches of coolness he adds to the engine bay.

Fatherof3 · 11-26-2013, 05:45 PM

Build a big shop and fill with some others to keep it company

and get some Circle Racing 108 Series wheels

del4fun · 12-01-2013, 04:08 PM

Actually I would be a happy with a four car and low ceilings. It's got to be easy to heat if I'm going to be out there in the winter or it's not any fun

ksshane · 12-02-2013, 11:51 AM

today.... ummm pay someone else to rewire it. Im not looking forward to diving into that rat nest of wires

SeniorVerde · 12-02-2013, 05:56 PM

Money a non-issue?

I'd attempt an era-correct Golden Cameo tribute truck, with functioning Camaro flip lights and lots of period correct performance stuff or all the super rare options.

min · 12-02-2013, 07:27 PM

I would take my truck to a shop like overhaulin...tell them what I want and pick it up done a week later.

That truck is too clean!

**Elliot949** · 12-21-2013, 08:51 AM

Several things I would do... First I would have a complete boxed frame build for the truck... Then get a complete Hotchkiss front and rear suspension for it... Then stick a sweetly built LS-6 with a 6 speed automatic in... That would be a good start... but since I don't have that kind of money and really want this to get done before I croak... I am making do with what I have... LOL

dirtyjim · 12-21-2013, 09:59 AM

I would send a check to falconer for one of the chevy indy car v8's, anther check for to hewland for a SL 6spd transaxle then have them sit in my garage collecting dust with the rest of my junk.
I would also buy a tore up k30 to build as a mud/trail truck but I would put the 572 bb in the bed backwards with the trans & transfercase under the cab, custom 14 bolts front and rear with the diffs flipped to correct the rotation due to the backwards engine & a big bar-b-que pit where the engine would normally go cause we get a little hungry on the trails.

the final accessory would be a beer assistant & my garage would be located in the middle of a strip club

del4fun · 03-02-2014, 11:19 AM

This is my dream shop

BlacklandCamper · 03-02-2014, 12:33 PM

8.1L swap, carbed with HEI, with an Allison T100, rear disc, heated leather seats from a Sierra HD, Bouis de Arc wood bed slats, autometer guages, 3in lift and level, dark olive metallic, with a Lexas pearl white roof, new trim and chrome, polished 18x8 8 lug wheels, and 33x12.5 AT's.
