What are your plans for your truck this year?

[Low68]

Oh, I almost forgot. I am going to put fast burn heads with a gm performance parts "hot cam" on the ramjet. That should be fun! There is a puddle now.

Finished repainting interior ( finished today)

Reinstall my new interior parts that I gutted out for repainting inside cab. Hope to have this done by end of week.

Reline brake shoes this spring, and repaint brake drums.

Remove oil pan, paint, and reseal.

Remove Tranny oil pan, paint, and reseal

Paint exhaust manifolds


I hope to finish all this by end of spring so I can drive my truck this year, instead of watching it collect dust in the garage.

Re-install my rebuilt 327 and detail up the engine bay nice to stock.

[72 CustomCamper]

Try to scrape up the $200 for a new starter for the diesel and get it running again..

[Project1970]

Should funds allow...I want to do a 383 bottom end for my truck, along with a new cam and MAYBE some minor work to the heads. Add to that a set of coated headers, a little exhaust work, and some interior work, and I think that's it...

[Hotrod70C10]

Here we go....

New motor, new tranny seals, cab supports , sport fleetside bumper, start colecting black interior pieces, recover bench, door panels, and visors in black (thanks ahead mom), strip off all the molding strips and start prep for new charcoal/silver paint, 150 shot of nitrous (maybe)

Not too bad of a list huh? lol

[Gee_Emm]

I plan on washing it every now and then.

Getting a new antenna on hopefully.

And even more hopefully fix the damn speedo reading.

[EJ]

My truck plans are... build a shop this spring so I can actually work on it

[MITCH1914]

get into the 12's with my new 125 shot of notrous. currently running 13.86 on motor.

[Willy Prost]

My plans are to install a Tremec 3550 5- speed manual to replace the trashed 3- speed saginaw manual.

I need to get the truck running again as soon as all this snow melts.

[Stout72]

I got two of my most emergent things done already:
-new tires, BFG AT KO 35 x 12.5 x 16.5, what a difference!
-new tunes, an Alpine CD and speakers

Those two things just about burned up the wad of available funding. Next will be installing the new driving/fog lights I got for Christmas, then replacing the parking brake cable, new window regulators and weatherstripping, and attending to all the body rattle noises.

[1971Stepside]

Three goals for the year:

1. Stainless Brake lines
2. ZZ502
3. Cab welded back together

[jmanz69]

My plans are:
1. Get cab started. Replace rockers, floors, and cab support.
2. Get frame blasted and powder coated.
3. Get front and rear suspension put back together so the future wife won't kill me for taking up her spot in the garage with my "pile of truck parts".
4. If time allows, finish my 327. Just needs reassembled and new bearings.

If I get all that done this year I will be happy. With the wedding in June, it will be tough. Never know, I might even get the engine in and trans hooked up. I will be driving around the block sittin' on a milk crate!!

[68CST327]

1. Grind, sand, fill, primer entire body.
2. Paint truck.
3. New tires and Eagle wheels.
4. Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap manifold
5. Edelbrock 1406 carb
6. New cam, maybe Comp XE 256 or something like that
7. Replace seals/hoses/gaskets everywhere
8. Kevlar drum shoes
9. Headers/Flowmaster 40's w/ H-pipe
10. Proform or Pertronix HEI dist.; wires/plugs
11. Enjoy driving the thing after all that work
12. Start searching for a 71-72 C10 longbed to start work on as my next project

[68LSS1]

1. Fabricate motor/tranny mount for LS1/T56 and figure out what do do with rear end (4 link with 9" or basic c notch and coil overs

3. Rebuild LS1
4. Replace cab
5. Rewire truck with aftermarket fuse block and harness
6. Modify PCM harness

I guess it's my turn.

1) Get the hood and front fenders off (already unbolted and ready to carry off).
2) Remove rusted cab. (Interior already stripped).
3) Find rust free cab (still waiting on funds) to switch out.
4) De-rust and paint chassis.
5) Overhaul the inline 6 and paint.
6) Order front end sheet metal for Christmas.

That should be enough for this year.

[70cst10_05]

FINSIH, haha thas bout it, i hope to have my truck done by the end of this year, if i don't have it done by summer it will be pretty close but then it will most likely slow down when football season rolls around, thats a tiring sport to have to practice everday after school.
