Re: Your top three...

But top items right now are: 1. Bought a 1972 C10 lwb to use as a frame and suspension on my 1967 2. 4.5/5" lowering 3. Power window kit

Re: Your top three...
A lot of the upgrades mentioned are just what I normaly do for an old vehicle to make it a driver. My favorite three are hydroboost 4 wheel disc brakes, front and rear detroit lockers with 4.56 gears, and my bumpers ( custom built)

Re: Your top three...
1. Exchanged the 3-speed manual (and NP205) for a rebuilt th350 (and new adapter and 28 spline NP205 to work with new transmission).
2. Headlight relays. 3. Exchanged leaky, smokey, cam eating 350 for a fresh (rebuilt by me) 383.

Re: Your top three...
My favorite three in order:
1. Big block transplant 2. Disc Brakes on all fours 3. New interior Mostly though it was undoing all of the Mickey Mouse stuff the PO had done and getting it right and safe to drive. Last edited by Fitz; 06-16-2010 at 01:18 PM. |
