I may be unusual in that I am building ONE truck. Not a succession of projects. This is intended to be my daily driver retirement vehicle. I want it to start reliably in any weather, anywhere. Give excellent mileage, etc. if i were worried about what other guys thought i wouldn't have put in Corvette C4 IFS, a Mustang (eek, Ford?!) 8.8 rearend and a few other things.

thats pretty cool, I knew there were kits for the old valve covers but not for an EFI intake that looks like a carb. the wide intake makes it look a little like a pontiac engine, which would be kinda right for a GMC of that era.
I dont think its unusual to build just one truck, I am a contract engineer with a lot of free time so I build a lot of trucks because I am used to cramming 12 projects through a year. your goals are ideal, there is nothing so deflating like trying to drive your dream truck on the weekend and spending a whole day getting it running right before you leave or stopping for gas every 200 miles.
