This springs truck build (pics included)
So, after some purchasing, research, and "afew" hours of rebuilding I thought i'de share what ill be doing this spring.
Axles from a 2500, dana 60 and 70 (for now, both are open, havn't decided on what kind of setups im using in them. Moog balljoints/bearings installed.

Have a set of 37'' super swampers in the shop, along with a set of 37'' (not really sure what brand they are, they're take-offs of a humvee.

Trailworthyfab.com, sells the rims to go along with the tires, they're humvee take-offs as well. double beadlocked 16.5'' rims. (not sure on what my backspacing should be for a 37/12.5/16.5, if anyone wants to chime in on that, that would be awesome)
Going to get some AAL and coil springs and lift and stuff for the tires, nothing special or insane, maybe 5 inches to clear the tires (that's ontop of a 3'' body lift)
Now, the cherry ontop this sundae...

That gentlemen is a 4BD1T, 3.9L 4 banger diesel. getting paired with a zf5 transmission (oh yea, doing a manual swap.) What do you guys think of my money pit?
Edit: sorry, pictures are not posting right

$150... basically, my boss told me $150 and you can have free reign of the truck, yanked motor, trans, the 2nd trans (it blew two at once, long story), dual battery tray, fuel tank (with 30gal of diesel, hope he never finds that one out).
