Do you have the 84 already? Is it in good shape? If you’re going to do custom everything, why not sell the solid axle truck to someone who will keep it closer to stock, and hack up a cheap ifs rig?
Personally, I think it’s a waste of time type project, but I don’t have any time to waste, so what do I know?

Personally I think throwing a bunch of bolt on's at a vehicle is a waste of time. I am a fabricator so naturally I like to take what every one thinks is crazy and turn it into a beautiful rig. Like taking a 68 mustang and turning it into a tractor pull truck. So anyways this sr5 only cost me 200, I'm gonna take the frame and every thing and turn it into a small buggy for my kids. The body I'm gonna stick over a big o engine. So Engine is way wider, height not worried about, inner fenders of body will have to cut out and reformed. And I'm thinking will probably move entire fire wall back 4inch plus refab and extend front fenders and hood 8 inch. Then last and final would be moving rear fender wells 22 inch (about) back and keeping all stock body lines
