Hey there! So I am busy planning out my build as the truck comes here in the spring =)

I wonder if anyone that has built one can give any input into what I am thinking....

Engine:
350 (want to build up something efficient and it seems likes every thing else is going to get about the same mileage... and at least this way I have power on tap)

Transmission:
T-5 (probably using the mustang T-5 with a S-10 tail)

Axels:
What has everyone else used? I know I need to change the rear... but if I change them both hopefully I can get disks ect.... or, rebuild the front end and add power steering to the stock axle

Suspension:
Going to rebuild the stock stuff... Seems like I should be able to piece together enough... though I wonder about the 1-ton shocks.... I know the 1/2 and 3/4 had good ones, but I don't hear any mention of the 1-tons

Frame:
Will probably box it and take out the dump in the back to save the weight. I am thinking about putting the fuel tank in the rear....

Any thoughts on the stuff so far?
