Could use some help and advice.

[80sCarGuy]

I've spent 15 hours and 250.00 dollars in fuel looking at rusted out junk projects. I have a 85 swb GMC 2wd body. Its really solid, and besides engine and trans, it just needs a wiring harness and the seats recovered. Would it make a viable pro-touring project? Do you think it could be made to handle as well as a 4th gen F body in a autoX?



I know ridetech and Porterbuilt hotrods make a front suspension kits. ridetech is fixing to start on a coilover kit for their strongarms. Kore3 makes the corvette kits for the truck and they can do the front hubs to 5x4.74 lug pattern to open up my wheel choices. The rear is very simple, I plan on running a 63-72 truck arm set up with a built factory 12 bolt with Moser axles drilled for 5x4.75 wheels.

My 2-2500.00 initial purchase budget would go a long why on this truck. Any ideas, advice,criticism or useful comments would be greatly appreciated.
