Been debating on how to finish the truck? For looks and safety. Will keep the patina look, that's for sure. Was going to rebuild the 348 but changed my mind, going with a duramax. The suspention in front will stay the same. The walking beam suspention in the back is getting replaced with 4 link with air bags. There is too much wear and tear to fix to be safe. Keeping the axles and 3speed divider. Got rid of the 20" rims and got new one piece 22.5. Keeping the dayton hubs too. For the rear box, I got 2 fleetside beds that will be joined to make it 12" long. Also got 4 stepside fenders to join and cut down to cover the duallys. Will post more pics later.
