OH AND ONE OTHER THING.........WHO'S NEXT?
searching the Autotrader for a 60 now... 
??? Hawaii is a little far for me to deliver in person, but I am game for anything and I am sure my wife wouldn't mind the trip!
O.K. first off great job, the truck looks good. This is just a great thread. I have a feeling this is gonna be an expensive read though!
E mail sent and it is all how you look at it. better gas mileage and more horsepower makes it easy to justify!! Could you buy a new or slightly used tahoe for that much?
The magic eight ball says "I see this in your future"
The three faces of the project:

(The parts cost)
3.
The permanent grin when you hit the gas and pass a few of the gas stations!

Been waiting to read this thread until I could go beginning to end...
I am blown away by your attention to detail, iaintscared. It's a dream of mine to be able to do something like that to my rig some day after the 2f tanks. Yet it wouldn't surprise me if I was to drive her to the metroplex to see you.
In a word.... "Daeeyum!"
Congrats, MrZero. That is one of the coolest 60's I've seen yet.

Thanks and anytime ya'll are in the metro area drop me a line. I always enjoy talking 60's and turning a wrench on something new.

No worries, I'm heading back to the mainland soon. I do have a spare bedroom you guys could use and I'm 1/2 mile from the beach
Oh she would be in heaven. But I would miss my garage and tools! So any luck on Auto trader? I know where there are a few good ones for sale...Let me know I can get you in touch with them!
Randy,

Hey I was just skimming thru your post and dang! great job. I have an 83 Blue 60 with a SBC right now. I am putting things together right now to do a VOrtec swap. Did you keep stock gearing?

All stock gearing in front and rear. New 5 speed and a little extra ponies in the front
I am also in the process of of transplanting a 5.3 vortec with a 4l60 e auto in to my FJ 60. I am interested to see how others how have done this swap have addressed the relocating of the rear tranny mount. Thanks for any information
