Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
i bought LED replacement bulbs for the dome lights in my 72 burb c20 ($10 each) but glad to hear LED's for the instrument cluster are available on ebay.
i went with CPP sway bars, but if you have a 2wd, the 1-1/4 sway bar from an 80's 1 ton or camper special chevy/gm 2wd is the perfect upgrade for the 1-1/8 bar available on our trucks (grab the frame brackets if you don't even have a front bar). should be able to get poly bushings pretty cheap too.
as for my burb, spent big money on a 4 core radiator and all new mounting hardware, but the 7 blade fan from my dad's 72 burb (w/ air) was free as he'd had it up in the attic for over 20 years and the radiator overflow bottle was a universal never-installed unit found in the attic as well. hung it on the driver side of the rad support with a stainless screw and put a tiny black bungee cord (big assorted bungee package from walmart) around it to keep it stationary. nice not to have to fill up the radiator every time i drive it.
