reamer Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Congrats on the sell of you truck, Corey! I had a feeling you'd keep the 84.... As to fixing it up, we've had some discussion on this between us.....wheels buddy! And remember, I still have access to that other blue stepside! Haha, thanks man! I'd actually like to change the wheels, and I think about it all the time, I just don't know what wheels I'd go with. Probably aluminum...and I really love the old school "slot" wheels, but they're more of a 70's thing and not as much 80's. Still, I wouldn't mind a set. I'll revisit this, soon. My mind changes often, but right now my plan is to work on the '84 some more and turn it into more of a touring truck. Right now, I don't go all that far with it. There's a couple reasons for that...and one of them is that a lot of the car meets and shows were cancelled last year, and many of them have been cancelled again this year. The other reason is that in my mind the truck needs some things to make it nicer to travel with...like AC, cruise control, more sound proofing in the interior, a nice bench seat arm rest with cup holder(s), and delay wipers...although I never do drive it in the rain...lol, but still. That's where my mind is, at least for now. Happy & sad to see it go for you as each truck has its own personality and why we own / drive them. Down here AC is a must! And why I did the firewall swap as part of the rebuild. Cruise control would be nice and I have looked it to it a few times but so far the most I drive it is under 50 miles each way so not really needed yet). On sound proofing the carpet made the biggest improvment in mine. I did add 2 strips of "peel & stick" to the inside of each door. That makes them less of a drum and solid sounding when closing. I did spray expanding foam in the roof but it did not fill even a 1/4 of it. No head liner. I do have a storage shelf behind the seat but no carpet on the rear wall as some say that helps on the noise. I am happy with the bench seat and the noise, its a truck not a cady LOL Same for the cup holder. Take the wife along she can hold the cup LOL. I do have delay wiper's and one of the best up grades I did. I do not take the truck out in the rain but sometimes you cant help it. Oh the wheels, I was lucky mine came with turbo's but if it had stock steely I would be happy with them as the truck would look factory stock and I like that look too. Cant wait to see your "up grades" and I know of the post you have going on one of them. Dave ---- How about a Bronco Project? From this..... to This....
