Started doing some cheap mods since I can't really work on actually fixing the truck all the time cause of the weather. So I started painting the rims and found the speakers I'll be putting in it.
Rims:
Speakers:
Now I just need tires so I can put these back on.

Yesterday I painted up the front wheels.
Before:
Half done:
Before and after cleaning:
Both cleaned up:
After:
Later on, probably after winter, I'll do a second coat.
Anyone know what the widest tire I can fit on the stock rims is?

So, I found a set of 33x12.50-15s for $100 that I'm going to call about today, and I'm waiting to get the flexplate from another member on here. When I pull the engine I'll go through all the wiring, flush the cooling system, change all the fluids. I'll probably do the exhaust at that time too, since I'll most likely break the bolts for the y-pipe. And I'll start on my custom gauge panel, does anyone know if the aftermarket speedometers coonect to the stock drive?

Yea, this will be one of THE ultimate budget builds. It will cost me $50 to mount and balance them if I can't get my friends bro to do it at the high school. I'll be keeping track of what I spend to. I still need to get a lot of parts together to.
List of stuff to fix/replace/paint:
Rear tire carrier
interior panels
351W
exhaust
fuel sender
both shift knobs
dash window switch
power window switches
gauges
radio/speakers and wiring
cooling system
heater controls
mirrors
door handles
front bumper
trim
remove steps
get matching spare
If anyone has any suggestions on what else to do, let me know.

Pics of the grille and better pics of my rims.
Better pic of the 79.
And I found out someone was messing with my truck and my friends 79 the other night. My friends dad went to let the dogs out and saw someone snooping around, it looks like they knocked it off the jackstands too.. It sucks but oh well, the tires I put under it kept it off the ground though. I hate people.
