Sounds like you made up your mind before asking the question. Adding a modern power plant with big block torque and a trans with "goodies" while you downgrade from a full floater to a half ton semi should be interesting. I guess those silly engineers that designed that full floater with extra lugs and bigger u-joints just didn't get it. Good luck....I wouldn't jump on it with a trailer attached though!
