What should Santa bring me for Christmas, a new gauge cluster with phantem gauges or a cowl hood for my truck. What are you guy's getting for your trucks?

hoping to get shoulder belts and new door seals for christmas and possibly a new 4bbl carb....but my truck has been a little naughty in the colder days, so the carb may be a gift to me!

A new radiator and new brakes and new lights and wiring and and and...

I got a new rear gear ratio! should get it back this week. (I hope) Went from 3.73 to 3.08. I hope to increase my highway cruse mpg and reduce the nasty-high rpms....

Santa needs to shove a rust free cab in my stocking.

farside, I hope you don't have a OD tran, I do and my rpm is around 1500 at 55 mph this lugs the motor down and I get poor fuel mileage I'm getting ready to go from 3.07 to 3.42 gears.

I wish I had OD. I have a std 3sp that runs at 3200rpm at 60!

My truck is getting some new Katzkin Tuscany series leather to wrap the seat, headliner, and door panels. The tweed covering the inside of the cab will be replaced with some comfort suede. The kick panels will get updated and the kick panels speakers will be replaced with the new Polk Audio SR6500 Signature Reference components. My truck is a "only" truck (only child).

I went all out on gifts for my truck, as I never got it anything last year (bought it right before christmas). New body panels all around, along with a fresh coat of paint. The interior will also get redone, along with a fresh wiring harness. I figure while I have it apart, I might as well do it right.

A new mini starter, two exhaust sections from the boxes back, a Performer EPS manifold and some dry weather to install it all in.

The wife has to go over to Vegas on business in January for a big sales conference and I'm trying to persuade her that the inlet manifold is a much better piece of hand baggage than a new handbag! (they're much cheaper over your side of the atlantic than over here!)

Painless wiring system for my pickumup.
