Holiday Shopping List for our trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 11-27-2010, 12:51 PM

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??

texasfunk · 11-27-2010, 01:18 PM

Hmmm..I like the idea! I'd like a 73-80 core support..or billet inserts for the interior of my 81

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.

babyJay · 11-27-2010, 01:39 PM

572 crate motor like we talked about on Facebook
Drop spindles for a C30
rear spring hangers for C30

79gmcclassic · 11-27-2010, 01:48 PM

hmmm.....

73-80 buckskin dash pad

wheel arch trim set

dash guage bezel no a/c

new buckskin carpet

inner fenders

and more!

jitteryguy · 11-27-2010, 04:04 PM

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 .

baclay9 · 11-27-2010, 04:07 PM

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

**PRattenbury** · 11-27-2010, 04:16 PM

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.

BIG10 · 11-27-2010, 04:17 PM

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.

benoit454 · 11-27-2010, 04:39 PM

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.

KQQL IT · 11-27-2010, 04:40 PM

Marina blue paint on my 73, please ive been good

Acrophobia · 11-27-2010, 04:47 PM

I would like a 76 front clip so I can get rid of my ugly 86 clip.

benoit454 · 11-27-2010, 05:51 PM

AMEN brother!!!!!!!

I love the round headlight front ends better then suqare 81-87 anyday!!!!!!!!

chopttop · 11-27-2010, 06:06 PM

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

thesickc10 · 11-27-2010, 06:08 PM

i want santa to bring me a 5-5 drop for the 85 c10 and a 16 gallon fuel cell for the 79 camaro

muthstryker · 11-27-2010, 06:20 PM

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth! haha..

I feel like being a total Grinch this year, Ive already spent so much money on the truck, everything else I want is extremely expensive as well sooo Id be happy with a pair of socks! Ive gotten myself everything Ive wanted so far.

qu1cks1lver56 · 11-27-2010, 06:32 PM

Tonneau cover
New tailgate
Tailgate handle relocate
Roll pan
275/60/15 BFG Radial T/A's

S10Fan · 11-27-2010, 08:06 PM

GMC Guy · 11-28-2010, 12:27 AM

or.....
have my exhaust done right, from the header back. it's kinda rigged up right now

it's a toss up, but i think i'll get more enjoyment out of the new tranny and rear-end

harnalien · 11-28-2010, 12:43 AM

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

TheWhiteElephant · 11-28-2010, 04:39 AM

My best present would be for me to have it running by Christmas...

bucannon · 11-28-2010, 07:03 AM

gcwhite · 11-28-2010, 12:22 PM
