If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck?
Hypothetical question, but if you happend to buy a lottery ticket and won $10000 after taxes, what would you do TO YOUR TRUCK?
I would probably buy disc brakes, an air bag setup, and wheels/tires. Whatever was left would go toward interior fixes/upgrades. What would YOU do?

Re: If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck?
nothing. I'd keep driving it the way it is and put the money in the bank to get some interest and keep saving and eventually get a house. Im only 17 though.

I'd use it to buy gas. Drive down to Daytona, buy tickets, and watch the 500. GO TEAM HENDRICK. "24, 48, and Dale Jr now."

Stout rebuild for engine and tranny, freshen up the suspension and brakes, some aluminum slots and new tires, and the rest would go to insulating and heating the garage.

Re: If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck?
I'd First, sell my truck and get a 2wd drive blazer. Second choice would be to convert my truck to a quad cab rat rod. Third choice would be modern day drivetrain LT1 tuneport injection with overdrive. Last choice would be bagging the truck. Anything on my truck would be a major inprovement.

Re: If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck?
Dunno.
So many plans, so little $'s. I guess patch panels, body work, & paint. If there was any change, pump up the engine, it's getting tired.

Re: If you had $10,000... What would you do to your truck?
That's easy...I have $10K and it's paying for the restoration that it is presently being done on my 70cst. Now if I got another $10,000 it would pay the balance of the restoration! Oh to dream!
