FPMnky, its your truck so your free to do what you like and what your pocket can afford and use what parts you have.
I went the V8 route in my panel because the rest of it was pure tee junk. I used what I had, straight axle with power steering, 305 engine and 350 tranny. Changed the torque tube out for a different pumpkin. it was that or the crusher so I figure I saved at least one Stovebolt!
Check out my photobucket and feel free to ask question if you like by PM.... and in the driveline. There is some cost involved but it don't have to break the bank. Guys here will help you a long and offer advice along the way. Good luck.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
