Finish front end project (not suspension

) and wife gave me the okay for some new gauges but not a complete set. Hell anything better than the ones I have now.

Also once I get something cleaned up this weekend I'll post something my wife was able to score on.

Patiently awaiting pics.

79BIG10 · 11-20-2003, 09:32 PM

LOL It's not going on or in the truck. It's a place to work on stuff though

phantom dually · 11-20-2003, 09:47 PM

Finish 4 link ,rack and pinion, front crossmember, repowder frame the list is endless!!!

TwinTurbo · 11-20-2003, 10:26 PM

After installing the LRB valve I will be done with the truck for a hile, untill something nice turns up (I've had my eye on a 10 piece manifold, individual runners with stacks, fuel injected, valley plate... it's real SCHWEET)

So in the meantime I'm gonna continue building up the corvette, still gotta fit my 5 gal. dry sump tank somewhere (I'll most likely end up modding the firewall to clear it)

low 84 · 11-20-2003, 11:34 PM

swap back to a stock motor, woo hoo, 200 hp here we come

Cooter_01 · 11-20-2003, 11:56 PM

finish the 5 sleds on the go , then after friday i am gona start working on my truck again if i get my licence

1985K10 · 11-21-2003, 01:12 AM

1. Buy and install new subs
2. Polish and clear my rims for next year.
3. Pull the 400 out of my 77K10 for a complete rebuild. Im hoping when its done it will be pushin 400+HP.
4. Get my old 700R4 built to hande the new motor.
5. Install locker or posi

Or forget step 3-5, buy a solid 70's truck and do a complete restore.

It all depends on garage space, money, and TIME!!!

big_c_snow · 11-21-2003, 06:18 AM

Get better than 10 mpg....... and find the Holy Grail!!

Seriously, my next project is (sadly) sell the truck and get a car. I just can't live with 10 mpg, especially when I am a college student that lives 30 miles from everywhere.

Prerunner1982 · 11-21-2003, 07:27 AM

lets see... new front shocks, rebuild front suspension.....park it.

tbird.. front wheel bearings, empty fuel tank, timing....drive...

until it snows.. then the truck comes back out of hibernating.

chevychic · 11-21-2003, 11:35 AM

1.) Paint interior...looking like end of this month or next month sometime.

2.) Install new weather stripping

3.) Install new headliner and trim. All pieces have been repainted and headliner is covered. Now I just have to find the time to install them in the truck.

4.) Install new side mirrors

5.) Swap out rear slider with solid glass

6.) Security System

7.) Complete sound system instead of the head unit with 2 6 1/2"s I have now. Adding an amp, a couple subs and tweets

I have everything I need to complete 1 - 4, it's just a matter of getting it done. It's starting to get really rainy here so a lot depends on the weather.
The rest of the list just depends on when I can have the money saved up.

1974ChevyC10 · 11-21-2003, 07:20 PM

mine next project is fairly minor compared to some of you guys projects.mine consists of a new well rebuilt carb for my truck and a new intake-got a free aluminum one from a friend.i have most of the parts ready to finish it now its just a matter of getting the stuff installed.im also adding a new distributor as well.truck runs but not as well as i want it to run-then on top of that just some minor tuning.then get rid of the taurus for good since the plates on it are suspended-damn arizona dmv and it would cost too much to get it tagged so its going to go away soon and the parts 78 is going away too so i can pay my dad part of the money i owe him since he wont do anything with this truck i gave him as payment and wont let me do anything with it either.other than that i have no vehicle projects planned.

84Stepper · 11-22-2003, 06:52 PM

work on the bed of my truck..... I need a floor in my bed...it's sad. I was going to get a wood bed but now I think im just gunna have someone weld some steel in there and then put bed carpet in it and a flush fiberglass top. My bed on my truck has only been held down by 2 bolts for about 6 months now. Then get some wheels and heads. And in 5 years re-do the whole truck.

bigblock73 · 11-22-2003, 07:39 PM

Wasn't the question "whats your next project?"...not "project-S"

All you folks have a wish list as long as me...now I don't feel so bad!

Nvbowtie · 11-23-2003, 05:24 AM

find another block and swap everything
from the block I cracked.

then drive the beast for the first time.

Low87 · 11-24-2003, 11:26 AM

After I finish all the trim work for our guest bath and the kitchen, and hang the Christmas lights, I'll have to jack the truck up and completely drain the fuel cell in an attempt to get all the water out, again. After that, I'm hoping to get an MP3 player for the truck at Christmas to replace my 1994 Sony CD player (it's possessed). I'd really just like to drive it.

bagged81 · 11-24-2003, 01:39 PM

Sadly, I dont think that my truck will see another project under my ownership.

I am finishing up the interior.

CT-Truckster · 11-24-2003, 08:59 PM

After my truck? I should have everything except paint by sometime next summer. I'm getting sorta burntout on trucks too, so when i get my 84 done i'm gonna do something different:
I'm gonna fix up my old 52 buick. I'm goin from V8 to sraight 8.
