I've been a car person ever since I was twelve and that was has been a lonnnnng time.Had all kinds of different cars/trucks through the years,Built a 71 Dodge Demon 340 back to show car quality 8 years ago but scared to drive it because it might get dirty or scratch it,also I live about 3 miles down gravel roads.Just sold my business (repair shop gas station restaurant) and semi retired.I have a 38 GMC truck that I want to build and not to sure exactly where to start,I want to rod it so I don't have to worry about driving it on gravel or scratching it but I don't want it to ratty just a driver something that looks good from far but is far from good.I have a Dodge power train (Mopar Guy) 5.2 liter Magnum from a 95 Dakota and was wondering if anybody done one of these GMCs on a S10 or dakota frame and what has to be done or if it would be easier or cheaper to put some type of front end on the 38 frame.I know I can figure this out on my own but also looking for different ideas.Would appreciate any information of any kind for a job like this. Thanks for any info
