Sure thing.

It's a 79 GMC k15 shortbed 4x4

It will just be a truck to tool around in. No crazy loads, maybe pull my boat here and there. But mostly just a pavement pounder that's capable of commuting to and from town and the occasional camping trip etc.

Putting either a 4" and 33's or a 6" and 35's I'm not really sure yet. Trying to figure out what I'm going to do for a motor right now.

I'm not looking for extreme power or anything at this point, being that this is my first real build and it's more a learning project than anything. I would like to keep it as simple as possible. I've heard 12 valves are easier swaps with less wiring?

I don't really care auto or manual either way, whatever is more 'practical'.

As I said, I'm just trying to gather some info outside of the build threads I'm researching on.

Thanks for your response by the way!
