winter changes for your truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69moneypit · 10-22-2012, 06:54 PM

What do you plan on doing to your truck over the winter if any changes planned? I plan on going lower (current 3 and 5). Changing to a staggered rear wheel maybe 22x10 for the rear. ( current 20x8 front and rear with 295x45x20 on rear i think for tire size ) Most importantly power steering and brakes , and ac.Hope all goes as planned.But i know i need to go lower!!!!!

Nice ride. I like it the way is.

New 67 SS Chevelle steering wheel, new engine gaskets to fix some minor oil leaks, New Chevy horns and going to try and angle the guages in the dash.That's it for now may do more though.

thanks for the compliment, I want power acessocories to make it more comfortable for the long hauls. I drove her to cruising the coast and plan on power tour. Sits kinda high to me

Also I plan to have a professional help with body gaps etc. I can hang sheet metal but not align.

This winter I got alot planned but would like to have it put back together and be able to take my wife and daughter for a cruise on Christmas Day. And even if I'm down, I will be heading up a bunch of car shows!

P.S. I'm in AZ so I can't wait for it to cool down and enjoy working on the truck this winter!

Ditto here, just like most i gotta say your trucks looking GOOOOD!
I just emptied my "cookie jar" buying another truck, so hopefully Santa brings me some parts this winter. Hoping for lowering components.

**truckster** · 10-24-2012, 02:00 PM

Winter plans: 1. Put on the top. 2. Lock the hubs. 3. Watch out for everyone else.

big bad orange · 10-24-2012, 05:29 PM

fix the charging problem, fix the heater problem, get control leavers, and drive. I miss heat especially when is 40 degress out. Also get some sand and winter tires, something tell my racing tires aren't good for winter

chopnchaneled · 10-26-2012, 11:59 AM

Hope to get mine all one color.

By the way like yours just like it is.

ChevLoRay · 10-26-2012, 12:03 PM

My plan is to get my chassis together and up on all four wheels. I'd also like to have my engine and transmission back in it. If so, I'd really be walking on air, if I could hear it run again. Maybe, before next May....it'll happen.

big_al_71 · 10-26-2012, 12:18 PM

My winter changes are that it will be out of the garage alot more and get alot more miles on it. Winter in south florida means the cruising season is on!!!!!!!

No rain!!
