These are on my "to do" list for the burb, but not necessarily in order.
Finish the drive-train install. (about one weekend left on that one)
Rebuild the steering components.
Add 4" lift kit.

custom rear bumper replacement
swing away spare tire rack out back
cargo rack on top w/integrated light bar up front
drawer type storage system in back
new headliner
overhead shelf up front
tach, oil temp, and trans temp gauge install
minor body work
paint job
stereo and CB install
bucket seat swap (getting rid of the bench)

There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.

Start to make my 85 pretty again with it's donor body, new mirrors/wheels/and core support to the 1991 look on the extended cab, and move my 86 from project truck and get it running with the V-8 and a 700R4 to driver status. Part out the rest and clean the yard up, 6 is too many to have....

My goal is to clean up this 454 and put it in my stepside. It won't be a 500HP motor but it sure will look the part.

Get the heater working!
Fix the windshield washer, get the temp guage working, upgrade the headlights, swap differntial gears from 3.08 to 3.42 and add a limited slip unit and a new cover with a drain plug, fix the zip tied radiator mount, new center caps for the rally wheels, fix the passenger window, align the drivers door, replace the speedometer cable and work on the cowl leak

Need new brake light lenses with trim, cargo light lense and gasket, power lock switches for both doors, power window switch for passenger door, refinish door panels and plastic part of upper kick panels, get a dash mat, figure out some way of squeezing some power out of this 305, or just say F it and drop a ZZ4 crate in her and call it a year.
For now I just need to drive this thing till I build up some more money. I've already dropped well into the $8k range for parts, labor and paint now, and I didn't pay anything for the truck... I need to drive it a while to get some return for my investment.

I'm gonna hopefully start buying up what I need to rebuild my engine and then hopefully a new OD tranny.
