I think the hardest part is the front axles' width - people generally toss out the long side shaft, and cut the housing down to allow using short-side shafts on both sides. That will get the width close to matching the rear, and more proportionally correct for a pickup. Of course that means finding a shop that can weld a housing and make sure it is true. Then, there's brakes. Until recently everyone was using pinion brakes. Great for the rocks, not for the street. Now I think there are several companies that make custom brakes now that the rock scene has gotten huge. Best bet to wander over to www.Pirate4x4.com and read up. There is so much tech over there, it is amazing. And yeah, stick with a 205......
