What mods are you working on, would like to be working on or have recently competed?

Give us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Post a picture, give us the details, inspire others to make their rides better.

Prize for the best of the best, to be determined........

My most recent mods right before it went cold was my ethced back window I did and my mirror caps and Billet grilles. Also just resently a friend and I installed heated seats.

Window

Truck with the grilles and caps

I'm waiting for my trans to get done so I can do an auto change over in the 86. And I'm getting ready to order the floor shifter and carpets for it.

when i had the spindles on..you could really tell the truck was out of alignment..also when it was the elast bit wet outside i had a hard time staying on the road, again probably due to the alignment...last night once the stock spindles were on and the new control arms...i was flying down the road in the heavy rain and didnt slip once..and that was with the bad tires still on..

Brian, I have the shifter, but no cable.If I did have a cable it would have been for a 350 turbo that you could not use. I got the b&m from ebay for $45.00 plus $12.00 shipping.You can have it for what i paid for it if you want it.It is used gut in great condition.....let me know buddy.

Phil if you keep it up your going to have to run drag slicks all the time



Barry I'll keep that in mind I'm going to start doing my search here soon, if possible I want to get one complete with the cable and all but you never know what you'll find.

[QUOTE=bd4martin]Phil if you keep it up your going to have to run drag slicks all the time


lol It's amazing how them DOT drag slicks hook!!
But I don't do any street racing so I don't need them.It's fun trying to get regular tires to hook.
