Welcome aboard Les. IMHO keep the original look or go 4x4, I don't care for dragging over speed bumps. A lot of trucks have been done with mustang and S10 equipment though. It just seems too light duty for my taste.

My 41 suburban has been updated with a fat man front end, the frames of the burbs and the pickups are the same. It also has the complete drive train from a 1985 Monte Carlo, i added helpers to the rear leaf springs so I can haul my wife's business to art shows, has a 305 with 200zr overdrive tranny, we get about 20 mpg.

Id keep the frame and build it up for strength, boxing etc. Also take a look at these NEW aftermarket frames that are being use for rods, can be very pricy.
