Whats your plans for spring?
With spring fast approaching here in the north, its time to start planning whats gotta be done to what, Projects weve been putting off because of cold weather/low cash, but Springs almost here people!!! What are your truck plans for this spring? Mine are:
89 Mud Truck:
-Build my 351W, hoping to have it installed sometime midsummer.
-Paint flat black, probably tractor paint!
-Remove junk Tcase, install rebuilt one from 95
95 Daily Driver:
-Disassemble upper end to get broken emissions removed/fixed
-Remove exhaust from manifolds, remove & install new studs into manifolds, reinstall exhaust w/ new hangers. MAYBE install new tip
-Install previously rebuilt tcase, rebuild old case for use in 89
So Cmon people! What you got goin on?

Get back from the body shop where it is now getting the rust fixed. Remove the bed and strip the frame down and paint it. Also paint the underside of the cab and box.
Hopefully if money permits(just got laid off) 4-6 inch lift with 35's
Exhaust system

1.) get my 2 new tires for my gen 1 lightning rims and get those on
2.) get a carrage works grille painted and installed
3.) put my new interior/ carpet in
4.) get a new front bumper
5.) get a cat back exhaust
6.) possibly get it painted?
this is all as money permits, in which the first 5 should definately be obtainable
