Holiday Shopping List for our trucks
 
Ok guys
My wife knows i hate surprises even at christmas..so she asks me to make a list of the things I want and then i get some of the things ( because my list is usually long and or expensive) I thought to help you all out this holiday season if we could all make out post here and accidently on purpose let our other halves, parents, or whomever gets you gifts this year get a look at it......
lets keep it truck related gifts

Id like a crate motor for my truck
a three inch lift kit
maybe a dash pad and seat cover

How about you all??

I'd like a new 81-87 4x4 or manual trans cab with no rust to magically install itself on my 87 V15, and a proper era fleetside box to replace the 88-98 style one currently on my truck.

a new dash pad or carpet for my Dually

Speeedway Motor's has some valve covers for a small block that look like vintage Olds Rocket valve covers and a repro air filter assy. that would be sweet on my blue S10 with an Old's grill .

a tunnel ram set up for my red S10 .

I'll be lucky if I get an air fresh'ner ,,,, although I did buy my self 22" TowNasty wheels and EVERY thing I need to bag the Dually for Christmas !

my girlfreind is fynaly learn'n that she is better off to ask what I want rather than to try to suprice me .

My wife already bought me some Gray Boss 338's for Christmas this year. She is awesome!

I imagine whatever I ask for, I'll be expected to reciprocate with a gift of greater or equal value. So I suppose I'll just give her a little something nice and not ask for anything for myself.

Have my spare rally's powdercoated and mounted on a set of 255/70/15 BFG Radial T/A's.

New interior parts (door panels, carpet, dash pad).

New solid rear window (in lieu of the ugly universal slider that's in there now).

Trans temp gauge - stocking stuffer?

New shocks.

However, with me being unemployed and having a new baby, we'll be focusing on the kids only this year, which is just fine. ;)

I'd like a cab and 2wd short bed frame, or lwb one to cut down, and make my own truck eventually turning it into a 2wd 73-80 round light front end, cowl hood and such. I'd be happy to get a bare rolling frame and/or cab. frame don't even have to roll lol I aint picky.

For the '71 some 20" rims and dat box of goodies, from Brothers, that I have been waiting on for (1) month now. For the '70 I would like Santa's helpers to pull the (2) engines, swap out the crossmember, drop the 454 in w/a few goodies, put it all back together, put dropped spindles and springs in front, flip kit in back and I think I could handle the rest. lol

Either money to get my LS swap started proper, or continuing to let me spend the money and be ok with it!
