Hopfully this winter (not that we really have a winter here) I can get some new things such as a cam/springs maybe even heads, redo my exhaust, and possibly some cosmetic stuff.

Hopefully I'll be doing some colormatching, some ford keys, and maybe an intake or switch the mufflers. It sucks being broke

My winter projects are as follows: Put the 5.3/Whipple combo in my '94 work truck (probably start on this in a week or 2), get serious about converting the '02 to AWD and the nitrous to wet, and maybe put a cab and air conditioner on the lawn mower.

, your really going to try and do a 2wd to awd conversion? not trying to talk you out of it or anything but i am 99% sure you could do it for less money and almost no effort by trading in your truck on a 4wd. even if you could get the parts for free i would still go with a trade in.

awd is the way to go if you want to be quick on the street!

Yeah, I am doing some research on it. I have talked to my connection at my dealer and if I decide to do it I will most likely buy a salvage truck for a donor vehicle. I tend to get attached to vehicles I like and I bought this truck new so I am planning on keeping it for a long time. So the cost involved is not the object-it is the challenge of the project and having what I want when its done that matters to me. I need to get my hands on a SS so I can put it up on the lift and study the underside. None of them around here that I know of, though.
