ok thanks for all your opinions and info. i saved all this money all these months here in iraq for this very specific purpose. i body swap would be fine except i am not much with alot of sheet metal and i have no desire to run IFS ever in my life. i have planned this truck for years and changed the plan alot in the last few months. maybe i cant get it done in the time i would like with the funds i have acrued but i can dang well shave YEARS off of my build with the opportunity i have been afforded in this situation. not many people ever have a couple months and a shop full of knowledgeable people to use while getting paid by the government to build yourself a truck. there are enough aftermarket parts these days that i can swap all these parts and still keep the old truck mistique to this build. which is important to me. i will be using all of you that are willing to help through this whole build and later on in my life when i fully restore my C20 camper special. thanks again for your opinions and advice. i will consider them all carefully.
Jonathan
