hey chevy54 welcome to the TEXAS CONNECTION! your not crazy at all! I am doing the same thing with my 53. I have it totally torn apart and off the frame, currently I am repairing the cab and preping it for a v-8. I want to drive the wheels off this truck when it is done. I am seriously considedring a 4.8L vortec v8 instead of the typical 350 swap due to the improved gas mileage still utilizing v8 power. im going disk brake all around with a helix mustang II setup in front and a monoleaf rear with a mildly geared rearend out of a 72 chevy c-10. All I do is drive from airport to airport all over dfw fixing airplanes and that amounts to about 100-200 miles a day....you area not crazy. take your time dont stress out, see it though and drive the crap out of it.
also, where in texas are you? I am in Mansfield

My Project BoltI hate when people leave their brains at home. Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.
