Nah man, I know you guys aren't picking on me. Believe me I'm very grateful that you guys have had so much input on my project. I'll still look around and do more research until I pay off the cab I just found and get started. But I'll obviously know more as the project progresses, and I won't even start it until I'm completely convinced it's safe to drive.
Also, the rear differential will be available once I remove it if anyone wants it.
