looks super nice!!

Couple of suggestions. You can save yourself a lot of $ on the disc brake swap by buying a '71/'72 rusty truck and swaping the front suspension and the 5-lug rear as mentioned by C-30.

'73 - '87 Chevy front suspension will work too - and there are several articles/threads about the swap here on the board.

I wouldn't take the nose off it or anything, I'd drive it. If you take it apart it will sit in pieces for a long time. I'm sure lots of people will give you that advise.

Anyway, welcome and good luck with the new project.
