Ok, let me put this little input in. I posted earlier and simple starting list. Simple, no detail. Then after thinking about it a little later............WTF ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING WITH THIS TRUCK???????? SINK IT IN THE BIGGEST DAM POND YOU COME ACROSS?
But anyway you'll have to beef a lot up on this truck. Driveshafts, u-joints, Ball joints, Tie-rods, axles, transmission, brakes..ETC.
Oh and gearing, you can run your stock motor........With the right gearing it'll be plenty of power to push you through. Just remember the front and rear diff.s have to be the same ratio.
