You can do whatever you want to your truck, but if it was me I would find a little s-10 with a blown motor and strip it down. This year trucks love the new chassis, disc brakes, modern (freeway gears) rear ends.
Not to mention the frames on this year truck narrow down quite a bit which usually shoves the motor up to clear the frame rails. I did a couple years ago, and back then the s-10's were newer. I put one of these s-10's under a 41 Chevy coupe. Easy.
Food for thought.
