67 LWB leaf spring rear project

Well I guess ill start one of these to keep up with the progress

1967 LWB rear leaf suspension, frame is nice and straight. the rest of her is in sad shape but nothing that cant be fixed.
Plans are as follows

4.8 with small turbo (always wanted a turbo truck)
4l60e or 4L80e Don't plan on beating up on the truck on a daily basis. Will be a cruiser but have balls to get it when need be.

Take it down to the frame and set the cab and bed aside for later.
Convert from long to short
Should be able to this Sunday

Convert from drum to disk maybe do the rear also
Will either sandblast the frame or just go over with my grinder and wire wheel
Getting upper A-Arms built by a local builder
2" drop spindle and a 2" drop coil
Rear flip kit but may put a lift shackle because i want a rake to the truck. Have to do more research on it.

Gas tank
Mustang?
Suburban?
fuel cell?
I know I don't want it in the bed.

New fuel lines
New brake lines
