He has information in there about Camaro Subframes, Mustang II, Chevy 1/2ton suspensions and even Pacer Independent suspensions. Read, through these areas, maybe they will give you an idea of the work involved.
They all can be accomplished along with rebuilding the front end that is presently on the truck.
You really, have to do some reading so that you are sure which way you would like to go and the capabilities you have either financially, or talent wise, to accomplish the task.
I have found nothing is ever quite as easy or as difficult as it appears, but usually, things end up costing more than it first appears.

Good luck with your project.
