Cool '78 Short Bed C10 Drag Truck?

Hey all, a buddy of mine has an old 78 short bed c10 that has been sitting off of the road for a good 3 years now and we were thinking about breathing some new life into it! It is a decent little truck and neither of us want to see it scrapped.

So what I am in visioning with this truck is something like
-Single Turbo 454
-TH400
-wide drag tires
-a locker in the rear end

I could be way off the mark with this as I have never built a drag truck, but the truck scoots as it is with a small block so I figure that should make it scoot more, There could be a better route though.

I am hoping some of you could pitch in your thoughts and ideas on the build? Any better suggestions? I'd love to hear a lot of opinions as this project is just in the ideas phase.

Thanks!
