70 k20 build that somehow turned into a frame off resto-swap

been lurking for years since my uncle died and i got his c10 and c20 pickups in various states of disrepair.
i've never owned a chevy before but had a 58 1 ton flat bed in the family growing up and helped my younger brother with his 58 apache stepside build so i respect the old iron.
first i put the c10 body on the c20 chassis and later got a k10 frame which started the frame off snowball. i rebuilt 4.10 k20 axles to put under it(78 10 bolt and 72 d60) and painted the truck. i need to go back and replace the rockers since the build quality has stepped up a whole lot recently but oh well.

i finally got the 6.0l/nv4500 swap kicked into gear by ordering a new 2002 upgraded nv4500 from midwesttrans.com with a new bell and dirty larry's henstooth his nv4500 thread is plagued by. sunsoaked led me to a brand new round pattern 205 case which unfortunately won't be available much longer since quad 4x4 is buying all them up to sell back to us for too much $$.
i bought a parts 2000 2500 with a 6.0 for 500$ with 200,000 miles on it so i'll need to get a fresher one at some point.

edit:mission statement- i plan on using her as a tow haul rig and don't plan at the moment to lift,boost,horsepower, or bling her up. things could change when its done but for now i'm interested in utilitarian and functional.
