Dumbest thing you have done to your truck
 

I thing the dumbest thing I have done was cut up my glove box door about 15 years ago. I had the idea to use a glove box door for a gage cluster. I was going to cut holes and arrange gages similar to stock but with autometer gages. Why did I do it to the original door, I will never know.

About 20 yrs ago I cut some A/C holes on my non A/C dash and never put A/C in it. :(

I guess when the vehicle is not so old that you can easily get parts or find them in salvage yards, you don't think of them as valuable.

Believed my painter when he said "just a few weeks..."

I have done more than one for sure. I guess the dumbest one was to take a plain Jane '67 3/4 ton long step-side mostly unmolested truck apart to make a short bed stepper that is made up of at least 6 different year trucks.

I hope to be able to say some day that it is drivable again, everybody has to have a dream, lol.

Right after i bought my 92, i cut the exhaust right off about 3 inches after the Y-pipe, thinking it wouldn't be so loud. my girlfriend hated it when i gave her rides home that week.

dumbest thing for me. Buy a boat, now the truk gets used as a truck and doesn't have a warm or dry place to sleep. Dd in the rain and snow. You can hear the truck rusting. :(

How about the dumbest thing you've done WITH your truck?
Last night I was pulling my boat dock up the hill in my backyard to I could get it lined up to push into the lake. I had nobody spotting for me. On the last pull I felt resistance and like an idiot I just pushed harder on the foot feed. When I got out the forward dock feet plowed a 20 foot long furrow through my grass. I've done less damage with a chisel plow. :mad:

Re: Dumbest thing you have done to your truck
 

Threw away the original rear A/C unit from my Suburban. It probably still worked too.
Luckily I didn't have enough experience or money to pull off the kind of modifications I wanted to do to it as a teenager so there is less to regret now. Back then I did neutral drop on accident once which snapped the transmission output shaft in two....

Re: Dumbest thing you have done to your truck
 

put power windows in it. they didnt work well at all, now I have to weld up 8-10 hols to hide that fact I was stupid.
