Man I really want bags, but It always seems just barely out of reach. What big purchases do you have planned for your trucks next?

ElGracho · 11-19-2003, 11:57 PM

I've already bought the parts (except for now my new springs) but I'm rebuilding the front suspension on my 87. After that, a paint job on that beast. Maybe then I can finally work on my 86...

toytruck · 11-20-2003, 12:06 AM

77 Cheyenne-
Strip dye off passenger side door panel
Strip dye off seat belt plastic
Re-dye all plastic parts
Send seat belts to
Ssnake-Oyl products
Send Tach dash to Tachman.com
Install hidden stereo
Install power windows
Install power door locks

That should keep me busy for a while. In the meantime, Stoked Out Specialties is supposed to get my suspension built on my 82 Blazer...

C-10volvo · 11-20-2003, 02:15 AM

well, in the next month im getting bodywork and a new paint job. that will put it in the shop for awhile. then once i get it back, im installing a 2 1/2"/4" static drop. then when thats all done, on go the 22's. hahaha i have to do this all before i take out all my loans for college

kballan · 11-20-2003, 04:08 AM

Still trying to find a shorty fleetside bed in good shape!!! They are really rare in this area!

Then a bit more bodywork and puttin her all together! (again)

1974StepSide · 11-20-2003, 04:46 AM

Tomorrow I'm installing my new chrome summit racing 100 amp alternator. UPS tried to deliver this morning and I wasn't home! Doh!

*1FaastC10* · 11-20-2003, 09:13 AM

i think my next mod to the 86 will be a For Sale sign. the 82 will get a cargo strap to hold it to the trailer when my buddy hauls the rest of it away. the 91 gets a new grille and a For Sale sign. the TA gets to have all the fun for a while.

Tom · 11-20-2003, 12:55 PM

my next project is a ford.

O wait you ment on the trucks

Im pulling the 383 from my 78 and giving it ARP rod bolts and forged 11:1 pistons, and checking everything else out to make sure its good to go after sitting for so long. On the 79 Im in the process of filling all the trim holes and then primering it to be sold.

gldevall · 11-20-2003, 01:13 PM

Finish my gauges, new exhaust with chevelle headers and Hooker aero chambers, heads and cam package, fiberglass cowl hood and fenders, some sort of different grill (I've got a few ideas in my head) body work and then paint. Probally strung out over the next 5 years if I keep it that long.

messed up c-10 · 11-20-2003, 01:36 PM

Well I want to get my new exhaust on before I build up the 400 so I will probably work on that first along with fixing my electrical and radio stuff. Then I will try to get started on the 400. Hopefully if I get this new job I will get some more money to put into my truck. I'm only getting about 8 1/2 hours a week at $5.15 an hour which really sucks.

Izzy · 11-20-2003, 02:26 PM

I'd like to do mostly interior work for now then start shaving everything on the exterior.

What?! Your actually admitting you still own the 83.

87Silvy · 11-20-2003, 02:40 PM

Probably get the 5.7 rebuilt, bored out, mid-range cam, headers, new or rebuilt tranny (hopefully 6-speed manual) , POSI rearend.........the list goes on.

**swervin ervin** · 11-20-2003, 05:32 PM

Well, I don't have a next project lined up for a change. I am planning on taking everything on the 85 off before I take it to get painted. But this is going to be way on down the road. I haven't even found who I want to paint it yet. I know the ones who have known me for awhile will say, yeah, yeah, you been getting it painted for the last few years.

My problem is I'm just sort of burnt out working on trucks. Everything I own works and works good. Not much else to do with the 85 except paint. I just don't feel like strippping it down right now to get it painted though.

cochino12 · 11-20-2003, 05:44 PM

I have been thinking of putting the truck aside for awhile and pickup and old bonnevile convert or a 2wd blazer. Anyone got one to sell cheap?
