No, the cab and engine are staying on if everything goes as planned. Everything else is pretty much being replaced.

what size motor do you have in it and I know you regeared but are you going to do any other engine mods later to help handle the big tire and lift?

I really dont want to sink money on the internals of the pretty much stock engine. I plan on pulling it and possibly rebuilding it or purchasing a crate motor but thats wayyyy out of my budget and probably wont be done for a long time. The headers/y pipe will help out quite a bit, and maybe a timing bump (not 100% sure how to do one). The 4.56 gears also help a lot by taking the load off the engine. Oh and its a 302.

thanks man! Im not sure what you mean exactly but I still need to get the rad support mounts/bushings, spark plug wires/ignition coil, radius arms and most suspension bushings, tie rod ends/drag links/adjuments sleeves, also thinking about a steering stabilizer.

well i live in midwest of the U.S. my dad and i take a trip to bemidji MN every year for a week. i looked up where you lived in reference to that, the closest point i think was 7.5 hrs. My point being we never really get snow and i still see this body style of truck around here. did not know if i should try to track some parts down, oh i also work in a body shop and have for 6 years. even if didnt wanna drive to meet im sure shipping from where we stay wouldn't be that bad.
