Wow, nice find. I like the plans ya got for it. That thing is too nice to butcher.
nice truck!
only one thing! ditch the body lift, the older toyota trucks look awesome stock or with small lift, but past experience showed me that body lifts are way bad, but anyways awesome find!

*Your second post didn't work b/c you are limited in the amount of pictures you can load up as a newbie. If you get a yahoo or google email account you can use flickr or picassa online to store the images, then just retreive the .jpg codes, and intert them into the
code to show them.
As for the truck, consider chucking the j-arm steering for a crossover conversion, or I can try to get a pic of how to do a crossunder and keep the travel and height reasonable.
For springs, etc, OME's the way to go for stock, Marlin's if you want a little more, just go with their 4's.
As for the cam deal, I'm no expert there, but IIRC it involves a little drop in power towards the middle band, usually where you would want it most, in passing and shifting, or climbing, as the profiles differ, but IMHO, only slightly, and it honestly depends largely on two things, your needs, and your driving style. With that said, I will definitely defer that question over to Wristy since he's the man when it comes to that stuff.
Oh, and BTW, nice catch, if you want to keep it around, do the best thing, hidden kill switchs, FTW!

I catch some crap from the ford guys too! That's a pristeen 70 classic Bronco ready for paint on the rotisseri in the garage. It's getting 2000 explorer 5.0 and 4r70w. I'm more into well designed, interesting, classics than brand loyalty. They have all designed their turkeys.
