I am keeping the stock frame but have gone to air ride front suspension and am correcting the geometry on the trailing arm rear suspension, full air bags all around. Nothing special, but should handle a lot better.
I also bought an LY6 6.0 LS engine, don't know if I want to switch from 383 SBC yet.
Bottom line, is that this is a fantastic project and I you have to get it done! Too cool.

I'm glad to back on it too! This truck is going to be my calling card to some degree. Sounds like you are on the right track. I would do the LS engine. Since you are building it now do it. After you buy everything for the 383 it will be quite a bit more expensive to go LS if you want to. Just my .02.
Thanks for the good words. I'm ready to keep moving!
