Sounds like it would be a really nice truck. Anything from 73-87 would be awesome in my opinion. But if it were me, I'd stay away from the body lift. Welcome to the forum.

35's and gas mileage dont go together. Maybe look into a 6.2 diesel but they aint exactly fast... good mileage to boot though. I would also stay away from a body lift. 35's will fit with the 4.. trim a little if you go offroad.
