Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
You should see the huge ball of wire I have thrown in the bed of my 74. And numerous brackets, wood and plumbers tape. All found under the dash.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
3/4" PEX tubing as a replacement door striker bushing. Works incredibly well. I only had 1/2" and it wasn't quite big enough to wrap all the way around the striker, but the doors still shut oh so much better.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Pick up a roll on nylon screen wire at the hardware store for less than $10. Remove the cowl. Cut two strips of the screen wire to cover the air inlet. Put the cowl back on and trap the screen wire. No more leaves blowing in your face.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
bought a piezze buzzer for €1.20 and connected it to the conveniencecenter, because I just need it for the headlights and not the belts:

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
My whole build has pretty much been budget but out of all of the "upgrades" I've done on my truck I think the Hella conversion lights and HD relay harness has been the best. Now my headlights are better than those on my mom's 05 F150 and I can actually freaking see the road at night.
Stock sealed beams suck.....alot.

The Hella conversion lights are better than stock beams with regular wiring. When both are together it is a great sight. I think I payed maybe 75$? Not completely sure.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Mine was my LEDs on my wheels, not everyone's taste, but thats ok because I like them and I hit up a lot of cruise ins and shows and they are always a big hit! I bought the lights off eBay for 38.00 and bought some 1/2 wide 1/8 thick metal for 12.00 and made the rings... So right at 50.00

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
I HATE the seatbelt buzzer. Wish I had a headlight buzzer though, could have saved 1 jump.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Don't know. Just know it works like it should and leaves two gallons in the tank when the gauge bottoms out

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
The Bed Liner in a Can also works very well under the hood. I did the radiator support, battery box, inner wheel wells and fire wall in black! Cheap and easy.
