got the ok

from the wife to finaly redo my 71 from the ground up,but now im kinda in a jam. whitch way do i go with it. i like the 4x4 look of these trucks but ive always wanted the pro street look with performance to back it up. so if i did the 4x4 thing i know myself id find mud and get into it,this isnt what i should do cuzz mud is hard to clean. now if i went the other way i think it would take longer to do and cost alot more but i dont care about that but it would come out nicer and pepyer the only draw back is driveability issues like ive got now. so what would ya'll do 4x4 swap or a street legal drager? i even thought about rock stock origanal but to me thats a lil boring

What jam ? If I had the wife's OK I be ordering parts and picking out paint colors. Do both. Leave it 4X4 and make it so purdy it even looks good with mud on it.

and just cuz it is 4X4 doesnt mean you cant put the performance to back it up. doing a burnout with all 4 35's spining would be sweet

If its already 2wd and you like it then go with the drag truck. I wouldnt change it unless you got a little money and a lot of time to swap everything around or you cant live without 4wd
