Good stuff thanks for the reassuring comments. I know lots of people will frown on me about taking the stock parts out of it and putting in aftermarket items, but you know what it is my truck. And yes I am keeping the 3600 badging on it, might even find some 6 cylinder badge from a 60's style car and put on the side finder just because I can (sarcasm). I really do appreciate all the positive comments and the "I've done" stories, it give me hope that I can and will do this. Once I start on this build I will keep everyone up to date and well as keep a build log.

again thank you all.
