I would like a pyrometer, a set of front lock outs, a pair of locking differentials, PTO winch for front, electric winch under the bed, a nice set of 1100 radials, removable receiver hitch, under bed storage box for tools, remote master cylinder reservoir, and a larger on board air tank for running air tools....want to set it up so I can valve it off when not needed.

1. Installed Peterbilt air horn
2. Installed Coke-style bottle opener on front side of deuce bed next to the door.
3. Cup holder.
4. Mini-humidor in the glove box.
5. Beer cooler on the front where the winch should be.
6. 12-volt stereo hookup

This is my top 10:
1. Add muffler (or re-plumb exhaust out the back)
2. Upgrade tires to super singles or 11r20's if you like duels (modern radials)
3. Add a reese style hitch to the back (and maybe to the front)
4. Primary fuel filter upgraded to a spin on with wix base and filter

That is what I've done so far...
Here are other options...
5. Bob the truck
6. Lock-out hubs (to free up the front differential and one of the rear axles for road driving)
7. power steering
8. Locking differentials, so it will be a true 6x6
9. seats, either springer or something else
10. engine to a 6bt or something or just upgrade to anti-drain back, spin on fuel filters for the multi-fuel.
