If all you want is to have a driver while working on the other two why do you want to do anything other than the repairs the 50' needs? Sounds like it has a decent engine and if the trans is good then why mess with anything other than the spring? If you really want to upgrade it then go with the 250/PG and get the rear end from the Camaro and you've got yourself a better driver. The Camaro would have drum brakes and unless your going to totally change out the front end it makes more sense (to me) to stay with the drum setup. Otherwise your talking about major surgery on all three trucks.
