I figured I'll put less then 1000 miles on it a year so mileage isn't much of a concern. It's more truck then I currently need. I could wasily buy a 1 ton truck and be ready to go but whays the fun in that. I'm thinking future plans and I love the look of it plus we already have a 72 K10 and a pull truck from the same era would be pretty cool looking driving down the road. Once I can narrow down a few things like what engine/trans I want to use which I'm leaning toward a p pump 12 valve and a G56. After having a 600 hp Cummins before they're hard to beat in my opinion.

I would really like disc brakes all the way around since I'll be pulling semi heavy for this truck later down the road. It will only be pulling around 10k pounds for the next few years. Most of which will be on the highway. Getting it capable of hitting 60-65 mph would be plenty fast enough for me.
