Wow... You should get some good responses on this one. I've got 2 so I'm doing different things to both.

This is just on one truck.

4. 12 volt 10 spot fuse holder for 12 volt stuff.
5. 12 volt Walmart fan
6. 3 outlet 12 volt accessary
7. Added a hose for slobber tube.
8. Recovered seats with digicam

To do Mods:
LED turn signal lights and tails. Already bought.
Air tank dump solenoid. Needs to be installed.
Convoy light. Needs to be put together and installed.
Custom made shift boots to match seats.
Rhinoline interior floor and bed.
New paint job.
Some other stuff that I am forgetting.

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.

My list of what I did on mine.

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
7. Pair of panties from a stripper I met in Baltimore hanging from the electric wiper switch.

Still need to do:

8. Install kegerator in bed.
9. Install beer taps in the side of the bed, just opposite the kegerator.
10. Install 2-person hammock in the bed for camping/relaxing.

Hey, you gotta ENJOY your ride once you get there too!

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.
