What are your new years "Truck" resolutions?

[MisterE72]

I was just wondering what some if some of you had already made your new years "truck" resolutions. My resolution is to put some weight on--this frame. At least get the rolling chasis going.

[fastom]

I want to finish mine by the first of June!

[Dingfodgy]

2008 will hopefully be a banner year for truck upgrades. Here's the "wish-list".
1. New rockers and floor extensions.
2. New Windshield
3. Relocate Fuel Tank.
4. Late model GM or Aftermarket 40/20/40 bench seat.
5. Prep, primer and install replacement fleet bed.
6. Install Serpentine system sitting on my bench.

If time and money allows I'd also like to get the 3/5 drop w/ disc brakes installed.

I plan on running in the street bracket locally for points, for my first time. Sooo excited about it, its been in parts for 2 years and finally driveable so Im going to pound on it and enjoy it for a while

Put on all the parts I have in boxes, so I can clean out the garage a bit. Start the motor that I have been waiting over 10 years to hear.

[Pl4yboy]

To keep her running another year lol.

1) Headlight relay upgrade
2) LED tail lights
3) New sub box
4) Rebuild motor over the summer (Possibly)
5) Should be #1, but get some black 15x10s for the back and 15x8s on the front w/ the chrome 3-bar center caps.

Resolution 1: 700R4
Resolution 2: Fix the exhaust (have to pass inspection again after this month)
Nice to have: Front disc brake swap

[c-mack]

[ChevyC102007]

1. address much needed safety issues i.e steering
2. new rocker panels (old one on drivers side is completely gone except for a couple rusty protrusions.)
3. repaint glovebox door to match interior (still grey primer dont rely match the black dash.)
4. fix other problems as time allows same as I did last year and just enjoy the ole girl

My 383 strocker has been sittin' on an engine stand for almost 3 years now. I hope it still fires up when the time comes.

Resolution for '69 GMC -- to get the frame looking like MisterE72's frame (is that Por-15, or powdercoat?)
have a finished rolling chassis and finished cab

Resolution for '75 C-10 -- (hope to do most of this within 2 months)- ensure the recently transplanted 454 and tranny is reliable, drop it 3 in in front and 5 in back with a ECE drop kit and take it on PowerTour (where it will probably serve as the beer cooler and toolbox hauler for all my other buddies who are going.

Resolution for '88 blazer: sell it to help fund my '69 chassis (the market for that generation blazer is so bad right now though, i may have to keep it -- its also fun on dirt lake roads after a rain or snow)

Well thats it -- pretty ambitious for me, because i have a pretty full plate with my other activities -- but its not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things

[blukangoo]

The biggest thing I want to do this year is get mine through the german inspection.

[sinkmt]

Unfortunately my New Yearis going to involve parting with my C20. Just a project I never got off the shelf.

It's powdercoat. I found a place in Modesto,CA (Progressive Powdercoat) that did the frame, front crossmember, rearend housing, trailing arms, upper an lower control arms, bed cross sills, and radiator support for $750. The price included sandblasting everything first.
