Anything Else I Should Know?

Ok, When I started building my 67 I looked for some cheap, cool wheels and couldn't find anything (except for the Dodge 20's which aren't a bolt on), today I find out that Toyota FJ 17" and Nissan Titan 18" steel wheels fit!!! I ended up paint the 15" wagon wheels and installed used tires. Dang!!! Still, I know that now and may switch over but I'm planning to swap to the 73-87 crossmember this winter so we'll see. I know the Jeep springs are questionable at best but the headlights are cool. Sooo....what else am I missing? I'd search for it but you can't search for what you don't know about.

Re: Anything Else I Should Know?

If it helps to clarify...i'm looking for non-catalog simple upgrades that almost snap in. I know about headlight relays, 88-99 seats and the T5 tranny upgrade. I'm lookin for the ones that don't get alot of coverage.

Re: Anything Else I Should Know?

Like van marker lights fitting or firebird marker lights as another mod? Or mainly drivetrain related?

Re: Anything Else I Should Know?

Relays are GREAT! Jeep springs are extremely soft/light. I went that route but I haul with my truck so it was a no go. I'll sell the jeep springs for $10 plus the ride to you if you wannaa try em out.

Headlight relays are a must, so is a front swaybar on these trucks
