Sure no problem
ill start with the tires and lift/spread.
I made a 3 inch lift for the front and rear by making the frame 3 inches taller (added on the the bottom) then i had to spread the rear axles, that involved pressing the rubber joints from the stock boggie arms and into my new ones. i made from DOM tubing. the rims are the trickey part. i used 12 rims total. 6 welded center and 6 riveted. cut 3 inches from the riveted ones and add it to the welded center wheels...pooff 10.75 inch wide rims.
Cost: $1500 tires and tubes
$500+/- materials (just stuff i had layin around so it was no cost to me)
the motor is from a airport shuttle bus i paid $2000 for that with EVERYTHING the front half of the frame, after cooler, radiator, driveshaft, muffler, i even got the cruse controle unit and power steering. then i had to buy a flywheel and clutch for $600...ouch that one hurt. used the stock tranny to save cost and the rest of the stuff is all there.
now i dont think i could do it for that price again. i didnt go looking for the parts i just hung out till i stubled apon them cheap and said "hey i could use that for somthin"
now i just gota find another cab cheap so i can make a crew cab....
