2011- What are you going to do to your truck this year?

Now that the holidays are over, and 2011 is officially here its time to ask "- What are you going to do to your truck this year?". I have set several goals for a update to my 77 Cheyenne. I hope to have a rendering available soon, so I will keep the details quiet until then.
Meanwhile, What are you going to do to your truck this year?

I have one final rusty spot on the driver's side bedside to weld in a patch panel. Just minor body work from there and finally get my paint on. If that goes well I may get an engine put in before the year's out. We'll see, but either way my truck should be happy after this year!

Swap axles for some lower gears, install rear posi, new paint, build a console with some cup holders, custom bumpers, hitch, and spare tire mount, possibly hook the A/C back up.

I want to get the body work done to my cab then put it back together and make it run so I don't have to push it in and out of the garage anymore

I'd like to save up money to rebuild the motor in Emmy, but with all the issues my 88 is giving me I might be blowing my money on that. At least I working on a truck (just not a 73-87)

My 74 k10 step side I plan on mechanically having it perfect. My 81 k10 fleetside, fix the blown head gasket and the tranny leak so I can get it on the road again.

I will be removing my inline 6 and sm465 to make room for a new 350 and 5 speed. After that is up and running I will be adding a 12" memphis shallow sub and two new amps to the stereo. I am hoping to have that done by July, from there who knows....All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

Boy what a list: First is to get the Diesel ex cab running again, and hopefully have it recleared. Then I am wanting to get the 427/th400 combo put in my 76 choptop snb and get it running. Just gonna ratrod it out for now so I can drive it. Then it'll be bouncing around on body work between oldyellers truck, the extended crewcab, and the tan/black GMC. Thats the plan anyway.
