First off want to say thanks for all the help in the past, but now my Oldyota is headed off to the ol' yard in the sky......

My 83 has met its last days due to the all the rust, the frame has several holes and now the right rear section of the frame has broken in two.... The cab is eaten up with rust as well, so its time for another project....

So I think I have found my next project, but I need your guys help.... I found an 83' 2wd that is in perfect condition, body and frame wise, no rust at all and all the body panels are straight. So now I have lots of questions, first off I understand that I would have to do a SAS on the front, but I don't want too much lift.. I love the height my old truck sits now and don't want much more than 2-3" of lift in the front.. I plan on doing the 63" chevy's in the rear and hopefully using the old rear springs up front.. From what I have read here that should give me about the 3" that I'm looking for..Right???

2nd... Can I keep the old push in pull steering that I currently have or will I have to convert to Hi-steer?

3rd... Will I have to extend the brake lines or will the old ones work with that much lift...

And is there anything else that I am forgetting......

Any help is very appreciated as I want to get started quickly.....
