thanks for the comments guys !

here are some specs/ what i have done to the truck

The chassis to start. I fully boxed the frame and built my own front crossmemeber and bracing to stiffen it up, built a rear shock tower for coil overs, welded the seam on the trailing arms with a cpp track bar, the motor sits almost 5 inches back and about 2 inches lower then stock location. it has a one piece steel drive shaft in it right now and a 12 bolt which is still stock. I will wait till i blow it up to upgraded the parts in it.also add hydroboost to it and will get some big brakes so it can stop.

For the motor its a 383 stroker that makes about 425hp off boost, planing on to run 5 to 10 psi until I build up a boost block that I can crank to 30psi. Got a custom build blow thru carb from quickfuel ( one slick carb ) The turbo is a Holeset HX35 off a 6.7L cummins diesel switched it over to external wastegate and running a 50mm blowoff valve and running MSD pro billet distributor with a 6al-2 box. all that is back by a 700r4 thats built up and 1800 stall on it. I planing also to add meth injection aswell

For body mods so far i tubed out the box to fit the 20s i will run on it down the road. the tail gate has been gutted and welded in with a rollpan. built a new bluck head for when i build a power actuated aluminum tonneau cover so its a nice tight fit , fuel cell and bat box are mounted in the box. Shaved the cargo light,fuel filler hole,fire wall,and any other little hole to give it a clean look. i still gotta shave the shave the cowl smooth and cut weight out of the rad support and going to pie cut the hood to get the slant look of the 67 hood but with a 72 grill.
