1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion

I bought this truck back in 2007 for $750, Its a 71 2wd truck with coil springs on all corners and Im PROUD to say that its a long bed.I have taken it from this, to that, Lowered to stock to lowered, 20' Irocs to 15' black steelies, th-350 to 700r4 to Super T10 and back to 700r4 and I keep finding new directions to go with it. Well I finally decided that I want it to be a HEAVY Half ton 4x4. I want a 4 inch lift with 35's 8 lug dana 44 front and a 14 bolt in the rear. I want 4.10 gears for towing and climbing trails.

It currently has a vortec 383 that I built with about 1500 miles on it. I built a 700r4 for it about 3 years back, So my powertrain is pretty solid right now. I have been collecting parts for about a month now and I am about ready to start tearing apart the truck. I found a rolling 1971 4x4 frame on craigslist 2 weeks ago. It is the perfect start for my project because I can weld but I am no frame fabricator. I didnt want to have to deal with all the fun of converting a frame with coils on all 4 corners to leaf springs, so I took the easy route. Pics will follow soon. please subscribe and encourage me to work on this as much as possible. I need motivation. lol
