what are you stationed with? army/air force? it would be awesome to take a truck around over there since they are less common. id be down to help if i get stationed over there! I ship to air force bmt in two days. ill be a loadmaster so hopefully ill get to make it over there!
back in HS and auto tech school days i have a slammed ford ranger with a 4.0 v6. I had an Ididit billit column, corbeau racing seats with harness, full aluminum dash with autometer guages and 17" mustang rims. plus some motor mods like headers, electric fan, and home made intake that sucked air thru the cowl on my 6" cowl hood! needless to say it drew a lot of attention.
Biggest feat will be for you is locking down the rear end i believe. you make them to stiff and it will just slide out. You might want to look at modding the rear suspension to something more road racey. look at nascar trucks for help. If im not imagining things i think they use trailing arm suspensions like in the mid 60s chevy trucks. this uses coils instead of leafs and then they probably use coil overs. just be cautious of what you buy because most stuff for lowered trucks are not real performance but for looks.
good luck!
