[slinginrods]

4:11 posi and a 5 speed.

[Unca]

Patch the floors, pair of inner fenders. some rally rims n new tires. Hopefully a new cam w its goodies( timing chain n valve springs at least) maybe do some body work depending on time n budget left over after the other items.

[69GMC910]

My plans are full body job. Hope to have it better than new for 2014!

[D13]

Hoping to 'finally' get the rear axle in the disel fixed. Would like to get the carb done on the 77. But most likely I'll work on the 16 year tractor project, if I can get it running I can make some room in the garage for truck stuff.

Re-paint my truck myself. Doing the rust oleum job, but hvlp spraying it. Doing a bed liner after that but got a really bad DIY job from a PO that I will have to strip off first. Should suck pretty bad but I gots to do it. Love to find a camper shell b4 paint so I can do it with the truck.

World class t5 swap ,using a 94 s10 t5 world class transmission ,jeep bell housing and factory hydro pedal and clutch components. These trans are rated to 400 hp over a 100000 mile life cycle .i may do a tech article on it .this is not the weak early non world class trans and they shift way better than the getrag later model trans.

I don't know. My wife hasn't told me what they are yet.

The Jimmy will stay in the garage. I hope to get a TH400 SP built and put in. And some work on getting the door glass back in and new rubber all around. A/F meter is on the list too, along with a tune kit for the Holley and some spring tuning.

I think it's time to take the bed apart and refinish the boards..Have not touched them in about 10 years...Need to get some finish on the inside of the wheel wells also...

[jjzepplin]

Gonna work the old horse. Doesn't rain here in the winter and it is just cold enough outside to cut down some trees and pull the stumps. Maybe get those new tires that cost way too much.

Daily driving my 84 LWB and continue to make the small upgrades I have planned after the drop in the next few weeks. We don't get a lot of snow and ice where I live so I'm not worried about driving it at all. Besides what's the use of an office job if I can't work from home when it's too icy to drive in to work?

[Malo83]

She's my DD so she'll be pounding the pavement as she has for the last 30yrs

[rudey737]

Looks good, Malo. What is the drop on your truck?

Do a project thread on that, I'm curious to see how it all goes together. Something I'd like to do too.

[Sodell]

Sanding, sanding, priming, sanding, sanding..oh did I mention sanding. Hopefully paint by Christmas....

[Low Elco]

Sitting on my hands, holding onto every nickel I can get. Hoping to survive yet another threat to the wife and I's jobs. Getting tired of this.

[Skunksmash]

I'm in TX, so my winter plans include driving my truck a lot.

[Rich84]

I'm in Connecticut, so my winter plans included freezing, shoveling, and *****ing and moaning...And driving my truck when the roads are not covered in the toxic stuff that they spray on the roads that eats fuel and brake lines...

[mickeykreg]

Im gonna try not to fill up my brand new shed....so far I'm not doing too well.
