thanks for the responses guys. budget will definitely be limited. i own a parts store so parts won't be expensive, but availability for the older stuff can get pretty iffy. haven't really looked around to see if there are many longbed s10s around the area, but i'm sure with a little looking i can find something.

between my dad and i, we have probably owned 25 s10s over the years. both of our delivery vehicles are s10s so we definitely have familiarity with those. this would be my first real build ever. i do have a 97 camaro SS with a 396 LT1, but didn't have to do too much work to that. dad has built several vehicles in his time and won many awards so i'm sure we could figure things out between us
