[Clyde65]

I am not going to tell you what I think your should do, cuz you need to do what you like.

Here is what I did.

I have a 65 SWB, I rebuilt front and rear, used drop spindles and bags out back. I put a 2005 4.8/4l60e combo in her, installed power steering, power brakes and AC. I also have cruise control for the highways. I can tow all day long, I can run 100 MPH if I wanted to, I can also run 65 MPH and get 20 MPG.

Anyway you decide to build your truck, you should enjoy it and like it was said before, so you dont loose interest or get overwhelmed, do smaller projects so you can enjoy the truck in between them.

Enjoy and welcome neighbor!
