67 C20 Build

[67c20guy]

Hey guys, new member here. I bought a 67 C20 a few years back and ended up selling it to a good friend for 500 bucks hoping he'd do something with it. Time has come we'd like to build it.

We tried getting the 6 cylinder to run but I think that plan is scratched and we're going to pull the motor/transmission/rear end this spring to go modern. This is where we need some help...

The idea is to make this truck drive able on the street and a pleasure to ride in. Was thinking fuel injected LS, gearbox, driveshaft and different rear end. We can cut, weld, turn wrenches and do just about 95% of the work ourselves. We were thinking of getting a donor car to take what we need then scrap the rest... Hoping to get some sound input from those that have done this sort of thing before. We aren't rich so money is definitely going to play a factor, which is why a donor car for under $1000 seemed to make a lot of sense. Also need some suspension/steering/brake advice.

What ya'll think
