Got my self a family project that has waited far to long

lets get started. its a 1965 short bed fleet all there minus every thing to make it move, shes been in the wood for at least my whole life so that about 23 years. It would be my great grand dads truck and after years i finally got the chance to have some fun. Right before my late grand father passed i asked and begged to finally get it and he said yes. with one condition she must have the same paint she had when new. So the burgundy and a white top. but the suspension and engine are all mine.

So heres the first question can i take this old truck and make her come back to life and at the same time make here a modern commuter with a bit of style.

I can get one perfect running s10 pickup (Isuzu something actually same truck tho) and fit this body on it. granite i will need to change the frame to body mount location but has any one done this and how hard will this be. Basically ill use every thing modern out of the s10 minus the shell of the truck. and cruise maybe (kinda dont want the airbag)

After this is done i plan to get the truck as low as i can without doing a body drop (only cause i like leg room)

any info would be great thx (ill have pics soon and yes the truck needs some major tlc) but very little rust last i looked (2 months ago)
