Moderninzing an 82 C10 - Tips/Recommendations

[Keith Seymore]

I don't know that you "have" to do any of that....

These trucks were made to be put to work when new.

My '87 was a daily driver for 29 years and 200,000 miles. V6, manual overdrive, 3.73 gears, rubber flooring, manual locks and windows.

With fuel injection, PS, Power disc/drum brakes, overdrive trans, A/C and cruise control it was basically a modern vehicle wrapped in vintage sheetmetal. One of the most comfortable vehicles I own, in terms of ride, steering effort and brake pedal feel.

Now - if all those changes you have listed are your preference - then have at it.

The cosmetic refresh of my truck is covered in my Intro thread, linked in my signature, if you have any interest.
