I'm not into stuff going on over at the 4x4 forums, not for me so please don't harsh on her for having two drive axles.
I had a truck... it was a ratrod of sorts, I liked the rust it had, it was natural and the truck wasn't pieced together it was in a graceful decline
I dumped about 6k into her rebilding all the mechanicals
Mike Daley @daly's machine tooled me up a nice 460, I assembled it.
All mechanicals hydraulic and electrical components rebuilt and replaced, even new driveshafts.
When I was done it was essentially a brand new truck with a wore out body.

Wrecked it... put a 3k# pallet of shingles into the back of the cab.

I bought a 76 f250 out of Los Angeles to rebody my 4x4
Got repeatedly hounded about not using it for parts and got grumped off and sold it.
I picked up this ol heap... 76 f250 2 wheel drive with solid floors, bad cab corners, box wasted...
I turned it into a 4x4 with my half ton parts but never got it running.
I got to that "disassembly for fit and finish" part of the build and stuffed it in the garage
