nice truck deffinently needs different bumper and stance but looks like a great start , on the engine I would really think about it if I was you to me theres nothing cooler than big blocks and you can build enough horsepower and torque with that 454 or 396 whatever it turns out to be to tear up a truckload of rearends and transmissions . I have a 454 in my chevelle and its a beast and its probaly only got about 450 hp. but hey we all know how it is when you get that new project and your running through all the different build scenarios in your mind . whatever you decide to do with it good luck and have fun
