Nah, rather try the Pontiac route. Got a couple blocks and cranks kicking around, always thought a Pontiac engine would make a great truck engine (torque).
As for the newer style truck, I like the idea of already having the modern drivetrain (trans, transfer case)and suspension, a/c, power windows, air bags (safety features - starting a family), modern creature comforts not necessarily as easy to obtain in an older pickup.
Don’t have the truck yet, kicked this idea around for several years and am giving it more serious thought. Been looking for a suitable candidate.
