My Daily driver is an 03 SVT Focus, so if a truck goes down it's not a biggie.
I'm thinking:
1) Put the fuel tank in the 91 and run it till the engine breaks, or I'm done with some of the other projects.
2) Pull the C6, the wooden bed (replaces the rotten bed on the 91), the 460, and the Dana 60 out of the 79 2WD.Scavange anything else useful and then junk the chassis and broken bits.
3) Rebuild the 460, and convert the dana 60 to a front axle with a locker of some sort. Pick a likely gear ratio for the "planned truck" with 38" - 45" tires and the built 460 (on the 79 4WD)
4) If the 91 is still chugging along, swap the 460 into the 79 4WD.
5) If the 91 is still going, swap the Dana 60 into the front of the 79, rebuild the rear 60 to match, lift the truck (with drop links new drive shafts etc.), mount appropriate rims and tires... Grin!
6) Now rebuild the 351W and the Dana 44 that I removed from the 79 4WD... convert the 91 to a straight front axle, maybe lift it a couple of inches (level kit)
7) Figure out what to do with the 300ci, 351M, and the Dana 50 I have left over.
What do you think? I know it will be a multi year project, and if I find a late 60's Mustang I might have to divert an engine and a C6 and build it "for the wife".
