My nephew lost interest in his truck and I ended up with it last summer. I have been working on it instead of my GMC. So far I have replaced the rear axle with a 14 bolt from a 78 C20 donor truck and converted to power steering and disc brakes also from the 78. I rebuilt a 350 and purchased a 1998 nv4500 to put behind it. I will be running a hydraulic clutch and have already purchased CaptFab's conversion kit. The 14 bolt has 4.10 gears so it should work pretty good with the 5 speed. I spent a good portion of today repairing rust in the drivers side inner rocker and bottom of the door pillar. Hopefully I get and evening or two this week to start fitting the rocker panel. Setting it in place it looks like it will take some massaging for a decent fit. I will try to post some photos later in the week.
