im seriously thinking about, and getting ready to, put my 2wd cab, front clip, and vin on my 4x4... its in alot better shape, i dont need so many trucks, and i would rather have a good 4x4, so thats why im wanting to do this. if you had a rough K20 with a good bed, and a nice C10 with a bad bed, would you mix the two?
go to the links in the signature for pictures

Josh, I would build with my best for a daily driver---on the road----safe, relieable, best ride I can manage. The second would be used for off road, work truck or as my backup/parts source. some guys really like building show trucks which is fine assuming they have a daily driver. So I would suggest you prioritize what you NEED first then what you WANT second. then when you hit the lottery, you go for the rest!
A 4x4 for a daily driver will get expensive but is definitely cool. I would personally use the 4x2 for daily and the 4x4 as my farm-backup vehicle. Paint them the same color with quick change vin tags for substitution (only kidding!!)

Either walk or chew gum

Do the one you want...Like CDdowbns said. Too many projects and you don't tend to get anywhere anytime soon. I wish I had more trucks to tinkerwith, but I don't get to the one I need to enough. Make the one good one!
