Re: "Best $ I ever spent" ?
I'd have to say the best money I have ever spent for my truck was joining this site 67-72chevytrucks.com by far!

Well where do I start.
The first upgrade was the power brake booster in 1986 right after I bought it, then the red & greay paint job. Then I found a wrecked factory truck with AC and swapped it all over to mine. I have spent a bunch of money on the truck over the past years since 1986 til now. I would say the best money I have spent on it lately was for the Speed Hut GPS gauges I installed in it. ![]() ![]()

Re: "Best $ I ever spent" ?
LS1/4l60e swap. Fell in love with the truck all over again.
You folks do have me curious about a sway bar... I'll do some pic-a-part diving and try to install one when I get to my front end rebuild. With 45 year old ball joints, I expect it to be some of the best money I've spent

Re: "Best $ I ever spent" ?
The best $$$ that I have spent so far was the $3500 for this awesome barn find 1968 Chevy C-10. A running/driving factory ordered 396 cu in big block truck with PS/PB, factory air, auto transmission & a 12 bolt rearend. Since I've had it, so far the best $$ spent on it has been the window weather stripping, a new window regulator, new seat upholstery & carpet - since it didn't have carpet its going to make a word of difference & the new seat covers are going to be great too.

Re: "Best $ I ever spent" ?
Without question, my best $ went to the power disc brake, power steering, 3:08 rearend, 5 lug conversion, larger sway bar, all for $300. Whole new truck! A little extra for booster, lines, bushings, etc. But still, best bang for $. This site is without question right up there for bang for $. You can never get enough information and experiences from people who share your passion. Kudos to you all!

Re: "Best $ I ever spent" ?
First; AC allowed me to drive in real comfort in SoCal summer heat.
Second; Switching the 4:56 rears gears for 3:54 moved me from the slow lane with the engine screaming to the high speed lane with a very happy engine. Third; Power Steering and smaller wheel stopped me from feeling like I was wrestling an alligator when parallel parking. Those three things have made the truck much, much more pleasurable to drive. Other changes I have made are cool, but have not had the same impact as those three.
