New member build

I am a new member and sometimes consider my self a little crazy about trucks and types of trucks. I am a chevy guy born and raised. My uncle had a box body 4x4 with a small lift on it when I was a little kid. I thought this thing was the greatest truck in the world. He sold it to a cousin of his some years later. I started working for this cousin and told him when he wanted to sell the truck i would buy it.. I was 16 ish. One day the truck was gone. He sold it to a neighbor for $1000 I said to him WTF. I worked for him and got paid when he got money. He told me I couldn't afford it. (because he couldn't afford to pay me ). HA I remained close to this cousin even after he shafted me and now his 17 year old son works for me but I didn't shaft him he just worked off a firebird he was bugging me about for years. So starts my build. Last year in a bind for another utility body I bought a 89 gmc 3500 dually for $1500 to get me through a job. The truck has been sitting for about 6 months now. Cab is perfect and has a crate 454 in it with low miles. Ironically I am getting a c10 regular cab long bed 4x4 frame from my shafting cousins oldest son for $100 with the rears. I am going to take cab and front clip from the learch mobile ( Learch plumbing is where the utility truck came from) and end up with a long bed I am shooting for something like this pic. I think I found this truck on this site. It sits just like my uncles old truck I have been chasing for years
