Re: January 6, 2007
Happy birthday. Take good care of that truck and when you get to be my age (60 1/25/07) you won't believe what that truck will be worth.

Re: January 6, 2007
Dude, you stole my birthday
Seriously though how about doing up the interior, that is pretty cheap and also pretty easy until your ready to tear it completely apart. Door Panels: $150, Carpet:$100 Door Sills: $75 Tach Dash:$250 Dash Mat: $100 Seat Reupholstered: $125

Re: January 6, 2007
Happy Birthday and thanks for posting this. You reminded me that it is also my Mom's B-Day today also. I don't know what you could use so I don't know what to tell you to get.

There is a guy at the local pick n pull that reupholsters the seats and then sells them on the floor of the yard.

Re: January 6, 2007
Happy Birthday ClassicRedneck05!! It's good to see the young ones starting on these trucks so early. Never sell it!! You'll be sorry you did 20 years from now.

If the steering is sketchy do that first, you don't want all the other $$ you invest running into a ditch because you skipped the "safety" stuff. It's not glamorous but it keeps it between the lines.

Re: January 6, 2007
happy birthday ClassicRedneck05! It's my birthday today to, turned 19 today, which officially makes me legal all over canada, my parents treated me to a set of disc brake conversion spindles for my Birthday, I would say go with somthing that adds a little power, headers sound nice, maybe rebuilding one of those carbs and getting a performer RPM air gap would be a nice birthday addition to your truck... just a thought though.

Re: January 6, 2007
if you have an auto tranny consider a shift kit. they're not expensive , and fairly easy to install . it's a good "seat of the pants feel the difference " upgrade
