Alright I have a dilemna- my original plan was to build a bad k5 from all the parts I have collected. Now I am starting to second guess that and build two nice trucks instead of one- but the blazer wont be as BAD. Here is what I got-

1975 Blazer- runs but not real well
350 with intake, carb and cam- has a valve rattle
worn out 350 auto
203 t case
d44/12 bolt
has 6" lift with double blocks in back!!
needs a front fender and some paint but definitely buildable

1974 1/2 ton pickup- torn frame at steering box, beat up body
running 350
465 manual
205 t case
10 bolts
this will be for parts and maybe a trailer out of the bed

1976 1 ton dually- really decent shape mechanically except for motor
blown 400
400 auto
205 t case
d60/14 bolt
body is straight, very little rust- interior is used but works. would be driveable with new motor

Extras-
d44 8 lug
14bff
6" lift front springs
4" rear springs
383 stroker- need a few little parts but everything is brand new


So if you had this pile of parts- what would you do??
Build a big bad blazer- spring swap, d60/14bff, disks, stroker, 465/205- maybe doubler
or keep the d44 in the blazer and build the 1 ton as well- 6" lift, stroker 400/205 etc.

What do you think??
 
60/14 in the blazer, with the 465/205 (hell maybe even put the 203 in between them) add the 383, the 52s from the rear of the 74 on the front, with a shackle flip in the back.

put the 350/400/205 in the dually (minus the dually fenders, maybe even with the bed from the 74 since its good enough to make a trailer out of) and put the 3/4 tons under it
 
What ever you do, you have to have this combo: 383/465/203/205/D60/14bff

Also I don't think you should cut up the dually though...
So swap the running 350 from the 74 into it and drive it as is.
 
both good options..

good ideas- I just need to figure out how many trucks I need---

The best part is that I have a total of $1600 into all the parts...
Really cant go wrong!
