I hope to get a new cam and timing, dual exhaust, new radio and speakers, dynomat, and window seals, and custom center console.

RC, I completely understand about the amount of work involved versus monetary gain. As far as your keeper projects go, that red '76 we'll have to talk about.

I'd love to
-weld in new patch panels for the bed wheel arches, cab corners, and rocker panels
-clean up the frame again
-new engine and tranny (460 or diesel)
-newer front seats
-get the thing moving toward being one color

I'm moving sometime this year, so it might not happen.

As you can see in my signature, it needs to be painted. I plan to paint it in the spring once it's warm enough out and not raining (typical ohio weather that time of the year). It'll be gloss white, with three 1" blue stripes, each a different shade running down the side and across the hood. I want to buy a new set of 4" lift springs for the front to replace the one that is broke, and they are all and have slouched down over the years. Need to fix the holes in the frame at the rear of the truck. If the money allows I'd like to re-route my exhaust pipes. Get the distributor set correctly, and mud the hell out of that truck!

-Figure out why my dash lights recently quit working.
-possibly replace leaky headers.(sounds more like a airplane these days)
-patch the hole in the drivers side floor.
-new door and window gaskets. (cab fills up w/snow in blizzards)
-four of the same brand tires would be nice.
-replace the seat. (1st on my list actually)
-replace my light fixtures. (turns, and brakes)
-might need a new heater core, kinda cold lately.

I have decided that I am going to be satisfied with whatever progress I make no matter how small.

-Floorpans
-POR15
-Change pass. side axleshaft (blew it spinning 4wd donuts, like an idiot)
-400 4v
-Redo exhaust
-Put it on the road for next winter

Little iffy on the last one, but I miss pulling people out of the ditch. 2wd Ranger can't do it.

Edit: Might also try and buy my Outlaw II's back off my dad. Hard to get pizza cutters to fit on a 15x10 wheel. haha

I want to get my truck back together in the spring so I can drive it! It's been 6 years! All should be good, just need to get the signal light switch replaced. Would love to get a decent engine to build up for a decent price. Married with 4 kids, so will be scrounging but would like more power. 351 M - 2 bbl right now, so anything would be an improvement!

My 78 F250 is completely apart and in a thousand pieces. I hope to get it back together and on the road before the year is out.
