Default My list so far!

*sound system
*replace repair bench seat
*door window seals
*dash pad, instrument panel cover
*OBD1 code reader (advanced)
* Headliner
* performance exhaust system
* performance engine parts

I have only recently got my truck, so this is a great question for me! I have nosed around while cleaning and polishing my new baby, and started a list. I am going to install a sound system, because the factory radio crapped out. I have a factory radio my dad kept from his 95' mustang GT gold edition, its almost identical, but the wiring harness is different. I know I can remedy that, just that is where I'm at ATM. I don't need a system that is outlandish or ear busting but clear, crisp, and depth. I got some ideas from "96 black and tan". Seeing his set up, I like the bucket seats with the center console sub. I currently have a bench seat with cigarette burns, so I am going to do something, just don't know if I want to reupholster or move to the bucket seats, yet. I want to first off replace the anti rattle kit on both door window seals, they are dry rotted and breaking apart. I need some dash parts "i.e." the dash pad, and instrument panel cover. I would like to fiddle with the performance of the 302, currently looking into a OBD1 code reader, I have one that my Dad bought way back when he had a 82' E150 I6 300 SWB cargo (party van in my youth), but its just a blinking light lol I want to get something a little more advanced than that. I would like a performance exhaust system, and finally a new headliner.

There must be a story behind the color scheme of your engine. What is it?

Just like the blue. I really don't mind the pink. But it's a tribute to my sister. She's battling cancer now.

Well I guess if any thing has to be done its fix the things that are broken. I need to replace the vss gear, the vss drive gear ( to get the speedo working) just found out my front right hub is inop. So I'm going to order a set of hubs here in the next few days. But things I wish to do to the truck is a 4" suspension 3" body with 36" military bias tires. Custom dual stacks. Rhino line the front bumper and the bottom foot of the truck all the way around. I want to have the bench seat refinished and front and rear lockers. Oh and a set of new gears to help turn those taller tires. Once I have a place to do it I want to tear the entire truck apart and sandblast everything and either paint it black or rhino line it before reinstalling it.
