Well first thing first... Gauges, at least a boost and pyrometer... Then do the simple pump mods (look in sticky) then a denny t fuel pin ($105) and a 3200 rpm spring (around $30).. That should be a good start!! Welcome to the first gen world!

The 1st Gens are awesome trucks. I will drive mine until the wheels fall off.

I'd put a better torque converter at the top of the todo list for an auto. Power is no good if it ain't gettin' to the ground.

I love my BD converter for my 727. Converter and shift kit made a world of difference. Trans acts great.

Autometer makes a single or dual pillar pod.
