What would you do to your Bump with $5,000?

[fbomb100]

paint and materials (me doing the body and paint) about $1500
rims and tires about $1500
all the air bag things i need(building the kit my way) about $1500
all the s/s tubing for brakes/fuel/air lines and exh tubing about $500
still need 10,000 more to do it how i what it to be

[DuckRyder]

Yeah, I do most of my own work... until it gets to body work, I have the know how but not the hands...

Still, once the old "While I am in here, I might as well...." kicks in, $5,000.00 just don't go that far...

[Mancar1]

I mentioned $5,000. will go a decent distance, not all the way. There will always be something else. I know if you do a total ground up it could go $25,000, $35,000. or the skys the limit. More often then not, the old pocket book tells one when they are done.

New hood, dash pad, carpet, front disc brakes, power steering and probably still have money left over

[Joshpow]

5 grand would help me get a trans in and little motor work. New bed. Maybe some primer spots!!!! Wish I could find 5 grand extra!!

[AlleyCat]

Giving my 72 new exhaust, installing the a/c that I have and some small things would eat up about 2 grand. The rest would go toward combining my 67 F100 and 69 highboy into 1 mobile truck.

[brandon.k]

I would be on the paint and body list to.

[HayHauler]

Complete 9" from strange engineering, 4 link, coil overs, fiberglass hood....

Probably past the 5k mark but this is my daydream fantasy..

I'd put it towards a 10-71 blower and the dual 2100 cfm kit If it had to be spent on the bump...

I think the thread should be called "what if I had $20,000 what would you do with it.

What is a 10-71 blower? I've never heard or read the term before.

My bad, I meant 8-71 $20,000 and I would want to start building a pro mod engine

[rjewkes]

I'd either get my hands on the modular v-8 like in Classic Trucks Mags Build off and all that was needed for it, Or find a way to put the new econoboost six and it's stuff under the hood. Get Some rack and opinion steering And get the all the body work done.

[Caseys71]

$5000 you say? I'd probably run down to the auto-parts store and load the bed of the truck up with the stuff to get the front suspension up to par with the rear, enough POR-15 to finish the frame and underside of body, probably splurge on a T19 (have one in mind just haven't had the money to put to the side yet), 4bbl and headers on the little 302 with a mild cam, new tires, whats left can go towards body work if there is any left .

[cozadlance2]

um. without a current price list i'll punt:
$? for a 4v intake and the 600 c.f.m. to go with it.
lessee, um... I need four new tires... and chains...
I really need a rebuild to a 390 at 350 h.p. or maybe 400.... seems that is about 3000 clams...
the above and a tank or two of gas oughta do it.
if it don't, I can paint it. bright aZZ pink just to be a jerk.
