welcome..nice project truck...love to see trucks with family history..that's some ambitious plans you have there...with that big of a engine your gonna need a lot of upgrades...to everything...I would check into just using the cab and upgrading to a later model frame that already has coil springs, a arms, and everything..
not sure what your plans are..ratrod, hotrod, dually,towrig, lowrider,,????...
if it was mine I'd just drop in a LS for a lot less $$$ than that 632...
you can pick up a LS3 and trans for about half that cost...and its stock at about 450hp

and THANK YOU for your service
